We have a commercial building and were having continuous problems with our old Risco alarm. Our old alarm company charged for call outs with no guaranteed resolution! Found FHA Security and became convinced they were offering a far superior, fully monitored with Police response system. They supplied and fitted a very advanced Qolsys alarm system with an array of sensors. We opted for their full maintenance contract so the alarm is guaranteed to be worry free for many years to come. The engineer that fitted the alarm was friendly and professional. Suffice it to say we are very satisfied with the new system.

This system met all our need including CCTV and home alarm for a reasonable price. Our engineer Abhishek was very friendly and took his time to explain the system carefully until we were confident. It has been set up very quickly and well. Thank you. I had recalled for a hardware failure. George came and sorted the work, he was very friendly and responded very quick. We will definitely recommend FHA.

FHA have been amazing. Our current provider disappeared and cancelled our monitoring etc. The FHA team tried to find a solution to this and spent a lot of time trying to get things working. Unfortunately as out previous supplier had all of the engineer codes and access codes, we were not able to recover the system so decided to go with a new installation. The FHA team managed everything for us in a very friendly way and the install was done in a matter of days. The new system is great. Can’t thank FHA enough for getting things up and running

A first class experience from pre-sales to install. George who came to install the system is a genuinely lovely guy with great expertise. He will talk you through all the options and give you the benefit of his experience. He is super tidy and his installations are very professional. He also talked me through all aspects of the system and the app. Well done FHA.

Great service from start to finish
Great service from start to finish. Contacted Mark who visited the following day and discussed our alarm needs. Once we had chosen which system we wanted Mark arranged for an engineer to install the system only 48 hours later. The engineer Adam was polite and very knowledgeable about our system and didn't leave our house until we had tested the alarm and we were comfortable with how it worked. I would not hesitate to recommend FHA to my friends and family.

Installation of burglar alarm
Helpful and efficient. Friendly service. Delighted that the alarm could be fitted within a few days following initial enquiry. Would like to have had more practice at using the controls on the pad before engineer left. However the fob and phone is easy to use.

Excellent service, best around.
I had my Yale 6400 and CCTV fitted by FHA. The staff got to my place on time and got the job done in no time with no hassle. Great company and I've already recommended them to my friends.

Very happy with our new burglar alarm…
Very happy with our new burglar alarm from Fitted Home Alarms Ltd. Our engineer, Josh, was very quick, clean and tidy. The alarm was fitted very efficiently and his advice was extremely helpful, without being pushy, as to what system, and additional sensors, would be best for our needs.

C StewartGreat Service!
I'm really pleased I found fitted home alarms online purely by accident when looking for someone to install a burglar alarm. The service and cost was so much better than another well known provider. The alarm was installed quickly and I've had no problems, would recommend.

Highly recommended
It was good to be able to buy a burglar alarm without enduring the protracted hard sell favoured by this firm's lesser rivals. The chap I spoke to on the phone was helpful, informative and helped me to choose the right system. Even better: he arranged for installation the very next weekend. The engineer who installed the system was punctual, quick and neat - and took the time to properly explain how everything worked. Highly recommended!

FAQ

Do I need a wired or wireless burglar alarm?
  • That depends on your property type and needs.

    Wired systems are ideal for new builds or properties undergoing renovation — they’re reliable and require minimal maintenance.

    Wireless systems are quick to install, flexible, and perfect for existing homes or rented properties.
    Our security experts can survey your site and recommend the most suitable option for your layout and budget.

What happens if my alarm goes off?

If your burglar alarm detects an intrusion, it will:

Trigger internal and/or external sirens to deter intruders.

Instantly send alerts to your smartphone or monitoring center.

If connected to a 24/7 monitoring service or police response, the appropriate action will be taken immediately — such as contacting keyholders or dispatching authorities.

Can I monitor my burglar alarm from my phone?

Yes, absolutely.
Our smart burglar alarms come with mobile app control, allowing you to:

Arm or disarm your alarm remotely.

Receive instant alerts and activity logs.

Check system status anytime, anywhere.
These systems are compatible with iOS and Android devices for complete peace of mind on the go.

Are your burglar alarms insurance approved?

Yes — all our installed burglar alarm systems are SSAIB certified and insurance-approved.
We only work with Grade 2 and Grade 3 systems that meet the latest UK and insurer standards, ensuring your property remains compliant and your insurance premiums may even be reduced.

How often should a burglar alarm be serviced?

To ensure optimal performance, we recommend a professional service at least once a year.
For monitored systems, twice-yearly maintenance may be required.
Regular servicing helps detect faults early, extends equipment life, and guarantees that your alarm system will perform when you need it most.

What is the cost to install a burglar alarm in the UK?

The cost to install a burglar alarm in the UK depends on the property size, the number of zones, and what types of communication features you want to have.

Typically, a professional burglar alarm installation ranges from £500 to £1,200, including equipment and setup.

Get a free quote from FHA Security for an accurate estimate based on your home or business needs.

How long does a burglar alarm installation take?

A standard burglar alarm installation usually takes 3 to 4 hours for smaller systems and up to a full day for larger or commercial setups.

Our engineers at FHA Security work efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption while thoroughly testing and demonstrating the system before completion.

What is a typical lead time for a burglar alarm installation?

At FHA Security, our standard lead time for installing a burglar alarm is 3-5 working days, from the date of order.

In a hurry? We also offer Express Installation Service for a small extra fee where by we can get a burglar alarm installed on the same day or within 24 hours or even on weekends.

This is in comparison to an industry standard  3 weeks lead time.

What types of sensors are used in modern burglar alarm systems?

Modern burglar alarm systems use several sensor types for complete coverage:

  • PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensors detect movement.

  • Door and window contacts alert if entry points open.

  • Glass-break detectors sense sound frequency changes.

  • Shock and vibration sensors identify forced entry attempts.

  • Camera PIRs capture images when motion is detected.
    Each sensor type is selected based on your property layout for optimal protection.

  • Curtain Detectors are recommended for bed room windows and other windows/ doors for use at night time.
  • External Door Contacts are recommended for gates

Can I integrate my burglar alarm with smart home devices?

Yes. Our popular Visonic Qolsys Smart Alarm can be  connected to Zwave Smart Home Automation Devices.
This allows you to control and monitor your burglar alarm through a smartphone app — receive push notifications, arm/disarm remotely, and even link to smart lights, cameras, smart video doorbells, audio systems and many more.
📱 Explore our home automation smart alarm systems for full integration options.

Will a burglar alarm reduce my home insurance premium?

Many insurers offer discounts for homes protected by a professionally installed and serviced burglar alarm, especially those installed by SSAIB-approved companies like FHA Security.
Regular maintenance and certification can also help prevent insurance claim disputes after a break-in.

Your insurance may also demand an approved alarm system if you or your neighbours were recently burgled or the underwriters consider your area or property high-risk.

We always recommend getting a system that meets all insurance requirements and enable only necessary services.

What happens if my burglar alarm loses power or internet connection?

Our burglar alarm systems include battery backup and optional GSM/ LTE communication modules, ensuring they stay active during power cuts or broadband outages.

If the system detects a failure, it automatically sends an alert to your control panel and monitoring centre.

Can I move my burglar alarm system if I relocate?

Yes — if you move house, your burglar alarm system can be professionally removed and reinstalled in your new property.

Our engineers can assess compatibility, reprogram zones, and test connectivity so your alarm continues to protect your new home.

What’s the difference between Grade 2 and Grade 3 burglar alarms?

The grading system defines alarm performance levels required by insurance and police response criteria:

  • Grade 2: Suitable for homes and low-risk premises.

  • Grade 3: For higher-risk commercial sites needing enhanced protection and tamper detection.If unsure, FHA Security can help you choose the correct alarm grade for your insurer’s requirements. FHA Security installs both grade 2 and grade 3 burglar alarms.

Is a wireless burglar alarm as reliable as a wired one?

Yes — modern wireless burglar alarms like Visonic PowerMaster use encrypted PowerG technology, offering long range, stable communication, and long-life batteries.
They’re more reliable than wired systems while being faster to install and easier to expand. They also allow for two way communication and comes with frequency hoping and anti jamming capabilities.

Accordion How do I test my burglar alarm system to ensure it’s working?

You can test your burglar alarm system monthly by:

  1. Arming the system in test mode

  2. Walking through zones to confirm sensors trigger

  3. Checking sirens and keypad alerts
    For monitored alarms, always inform your monitoring centre before testing. For full inspection, schedule a professional service annually or twice a year for police response alarms.

What is a monitored burglar alarm and do I need it?

A monitored burglar alarm connects to our 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). When triggered, the ARC can contact you or emergency services immediately.
It’s ideal for properties that need guaranteed response, such as businesses, vacant homes, or homeowners seeking maximum peace of mind.

Does a burglar alarm need regular servicing?

Yes — most insurance policies and manufacturers recommend annual burglar alarm servicing.
Our certified engineers test the system, inspect wiring, batteries, and communication links, ensuring your system stays reliable and compliant.
