    About this service

    What things cost

    Security Red Alert is a family-run fire and security company in Summerstown, London SW17, working across London and the South East since 2001. We publish our starting prices so you know roughly what to expect before anyone visits.

    Servicing prices are per visit. Fire alarms are serviced every six months under BS 5839-1 and emergency lighting has a full-duration test once a year under BS 5266-1, and we can do both in one visit with the certificates left on the day. New systems are priced from a free survey or your drawings, because the size of the building and the number of devices decide the price.

    Starting prices are for a smaller building. Larger buildings are priced per device after a free survey or from your drawings.

    Why prices vary

    For servicing, the main things are the type of system (conventional or addressable), the number of devices and how easy they are to reach. For new systems it is the size and layout of the building, the category and grade of fire alarm the fire risk assessment calls for, whether it is wired or wireless, and access.

    Taking over a system someone else installed

    We service conventional, addressable and wireless systems from the common manufacturers, whoever fitted them. If your system has not been serviced for a while, the first visit brings it back up to date and you get the certificates on the day.

    Fire alarm fault

    “Excellent service from start to finish. The team was reliable, professional and extremely knowledgeable. They responded quickly, explained everything clearly, and made sure the issue with the fire alarm was properly identified and resolved. It was a stressful situation, but their calm and professional approach gave me real peace of mind knowing that the fire alarm system was safe and working properly.

    Fire alarm system, four flats

    “Security Red Alert recently installed a full fire-alarm system across my four flats, and I couldn’t be more impressed. They arrived early in the morning exactly as promised, worked efficiently throughout the day, and completed everything on time with no disruption. The team were professional, polite, and absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Highly recommended — truly a five-star service.”

    Fire alarm upgrade and emergency lighting

    “Great company, very responsive and expert technical knowledge sorting out faults on my fire alarm system. I got them back to upgrade my system and also install emergency lighting. The installation was done with minimal disruption and they left everything clean and tidy. Professional and friendly service, I would recommend them.”
