Burglar Alarms Ruislip | Servicing & Repairs

Burglar alarm engineers serving Ruislip

Ruislip is a settled place. Plenty of households have been in the same 1930s semi or detached house for years, and many of those houses have a wired alarm that went in a long time ago, often fitted by a company that has since closed or moved on. The alarm still powers up and the bell box still flashes, but nobody is quite sure when it was last checked. That is exactly the kind of system we look after.

Ignis Secure services, repairs and installs burglar alarms across Ruislip, Ruislip Manor, South Ruislip, Ruislip Gardens and West Ruislip, along with Eastcote and Ickenham. We are based in Uxbridge, so visits are quick to arrange.

Servicing and repairs in Ruislip

An older wired alarm is usually worth keeping. The cabling inside the walls is the expensive part, and it normally still works. What tends to fail is the backup battery in the panel, the battery in the bell box and the odd sensor. Replace those, service the rest, and an older system can keep running reliably. Around HA4 we:

Service home alarms once a year, whether bells-only or app-based
Take over alarms fitted by companies that are no longer around
Fix beeping keypads, false alarms and bell boxes that sound on their own
Reset panels and set new codes for people who have moved into a house with an alarm
Fit a new panel with app control to existing wiring when the old one is obsolete
Service monitored alarms in shops and businesses every six months

Shops and businesses in Ruislip

On the High Street and around Ruislip Manor, shops, cafés and restaurants need an alarm that sets reliably at closing time and does not call a keyholder out at 2am for nothing. The commercial units around Victoria Road in South Ruislip are more likely to need a monitored alarm and a maintenance contract, because their insurer asks for one. We plan visits around trading hours, and we can combine alarm servicing with fire alarm work in Ruislip so one visit covers both.

New alarms in Ruislip

If your alarm is beyond repair, or you have never had one, we design and install wired, wireless and hybrid systems. Wireless suits Ruislip's inter-war houses well: no floorboards up and no channels cut into original plaster. Our burglar alarm installation page explains the options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which parts of Ruislip do you cover?

All of HA4: Ruislip, Ruislip Manor, South Ruislip, Ruislip Gardens and West Ruislip, plus Eastcote and Ickenham. We are based in Uxbridge, so visits are quick to arrange.

Our alarm was fitted years ago by a company that has closed. Can you take it over?

Usually, yes. We service and repair alarms fitted by other companies. If nobody has the engineer code, many panels can be reset. If yours is locked, or too old to get parts for, we will tell you before any work and quote for an alternative.

Is it worth keeping an old wired alarm?

Often, yes. The wiring is the expensive part and is usually still sound. Replacing the backup battery, the bell box battery and any failed sensors, then servicing the system, costs far less than starting again. If the panel itself is obsolete, a new one can usually be fitted to the existing wiring.

Can you service our fire alarm and burglar alarm in the same visit?

Yes. Plenty of Ruislip shops, restaurants and offices have both, and combining the visits saves time and disruption. Our Ruislip fire alarm page covers the fire side.
