Intruder Alarm Installation in West London
Wired and wireless burglar alarms designed, installed and maintained for homes and businesses across Uxbridge, Hillingdon and West London, with app control and instant notifications.
Intruder alarms designed around how you use your property
A good intruder alarm is one you actually set every day. Ignis Secure Limited designs alarm systems around how your property is used — where people come and go, whether there are pets, who needs to set and unset it — so the system protects you without getting in your way. We survey first, then install a system with the right detectors in the right places.
We install alarms in houses, flats, shops, offices, warehouses and industrial units across West London, and we service and repair existing systems too, including systems originally installed by other companies.

Choosing the right kind of alarm
Wireless alarms
Quick and clean to install with no cable runs, which makes them ideal for finished homes and rented or listed properties. Modern wireless systems are reliable, battery-monitored and easy to extend later.
Wired alarms
A robust choice for new builds, refurbishments and larger commercial premises, where cabling can be run during other works. No batteries in the detectors to maintain and no radio range limits.
Bells-only systems
The alarm sounds sirens at the property and sends notifications to your phone. A well specified bells-only system with app alerts suits most homes and small business premises.
Monitored systems
The alarm also signals an alarm receiving centre, which contacts keyholders or, where the system and its history qualify, requests a police response. Worth considering for businesses, higher risk stock and where your insurer requires it.
One team for alarms, cameras and doors
Intruder alarms do their best work alongside the rest of your security. Because we also install CCTV and access control, we can design the three together — cameras covering the areas the alarm protects, and door control that fits how staff move around the building — with one survey, one installation and one point of contact.
Our installation process
-
Site survey
We look at entry points, layout and how the property is used, and talk through pets, keyholders and any insurer requirements. The survey is free and there is no obligation.
-
Design and quotation
You receive a written quotation with the proposed system, detector positions and full costs set out clearly.
-
Installation
Our engineers install and configure the system tidily, usually within a day for most homes, and set up users, codes and the app.
-
Handover and support
We walk you through setting, unsetting and part-setting the alarm, and remain on hand for servicing, repairs and changes as your needs evolve.
How much does an intruder alarm cost?
It depends on the size of the property, the number of detectors and whether you want monitoring. A typical home system is a modest one-off cost with no ongoing fees for a bells-only setup; monitored systems carry an annual charge. We survey first and give you a fixed written quotation, so there are no surprises.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a bells-only and a monitored alarm?
A bells-only alarm sounds a siren at the property and, on modern systems, sends a notification to your phone, but it relies on you or a neighbour responding. A monitored alarm also signals to an alarm receiving centre, which can contact keyholders or, where the system qualifies, request a police response. Bells-only with app notifications suits most homes; monitoring is worth considering for businesses, higher risk properties and where insurers require it.
Will my pets set the alarm off?
Not if the system is designed for them. We fit pet-tolerant motion detectors and position devices so that cats and dogs moving around at floor level do not trigger the alarm, while a person moving through the room still does. Tell us about your pets at the survey and we design around them.
Can I set and unset the alarm from my phone?
Yes. The systems we install can be controlled from an app as well as from the keypad, so you can set and unset the alarm remotely, check whether you remembered to set it, and receive instant notifications if it activates. Keypads, fobs and codes still work for anyone who prefers them.
Can you repair or take over an existing burglar alarm?
In most cases, yes. We repair faults, replace failed detectors and batteries, and take over the servicing of systems installed by other companies. If an older system is no longer worth repairing we will say so, and quote for a modern replacement so you can weigh the options.
Do intruder alarms need servicing?
Yes. An annual service keeps detectors, sirens, batteries and signalling working properly and is commonly a condition of insurance for commercial premises; monitored systems are normally serviced to the schedule the monitoring contract requires. A serviced alarm is also far less likely to false alarm, which keeps neighbours, staff and keyholders on side.
