Overview

The complete picture before you commit.

Honest, plain-English explanation no jargon, no hard sell. We want you to understand exactly what we're recommending and why.

What it is

An intruder alarm system is a network of motion sensors, door and window contacts, control panels and external sirens that detect unauthorised entry and trigger an immediate audible and digital response. Modern systems link to your phone via app, send alerts to a 24/7 monitoring centre, and integrate with CCTV and smart locks. We install Texecom the UK's most trusted professionally-rated alarm brand across both residential and commercial premises.

Who it's for

Homeowners protecting family and possessions, landlords meeting insurance requirements, and businesses safeguarding stock, equipment and staff. We install for everything from a 2-bed terrace in Glossop to multi-zone industrial units in Manchester and Stockport. If you have something worth protecting, you're who this is for.

When you need it

Most customers come to us after a local break-in, when their insurer demands a graded alarm, when moving into a new property, or when an old bell-only system has stopped triggering. Don't wait for a trigger event the cost of a system is a fraction of a single insurance excess and a fraction of the emotional cost of a burglary.

Why professional install matters

DIY kits look cheap until they false-alarm at 3am, fail to detect the actual entry route, or void your home insurance because they aren't graded. A professional install means the right sensor in the right place, hidden cabling, certified equipment, monitored battery health and a system your insurer recognises. Forty years of installs across the North West means we know exactly where intruders enter and where to put the kit that catches them.

What's at stake

What happens when this gets ignored.

Insurance claims refused

Many policies require a professionally installed and certified alarm. A DIY system can void your cover the day you need it most.

False alarms that get ignored

Badly placed sensors trigger constantly. Neighbours stop responding. Your alarm becomes background noise not a deterrent.

Out-of-date systems missed entry

Alarms fitted 10+ years ago weren't designed for modern entry methods. We see legacy systems that completely missed the actual point of break-in.

Unmonitored systems

An audible-only siren is just noise. Without app alerts or monitored response, you only find out you've been burgled when you get home.

Texecom Premier Elite Our Standard System

We install Texecom Premier Elite as standard the most widely deployed graded alarm system in the UK and the platform recognised by virtually every insurer. Premier Elite supports 8 to 640 zones, dual-path signalling (broadband plus mobile), encrypted wireless devices, and the Texecom Connect app for full smartphone control. For most homes a Premier Elite 24 with a mix of PIR motion detectors, door contacts and a remote keypad is the right specification. Larger homes and commercial premises step up to 48 or 88 zone panels with multiple keypads and segmented arming.

Wired vs Wireless Installation

Wired systems remain the most reliable and longest-lasting choice for new-builds, extensions or any property under refurbishment where cabling can be run before plastering. Wireless systems using Texecom Ricochet mesh technology are ideal for occupied homes, listed buildings and properties where minimising disruption matters. Modern wireless detectors have battery lives of 5–10 years, supervised low-battery alerts, and signal strength comparable to wired equivalents. We assess your property and recommend the right mix.

Residential Alarm Systems

Typical residential systems include door contacts on front, back and patio doors; PIR motion detectors in hallways, landings and ground-floor reception rooms; an internal sounder; an external bell-box (a powerful visual deterrent in itself); a control panel; one or two keypads; and dual-path signalling. Pet-friendly PIRs allow cats and small dogs to move freely without triggering alarms.

Commercial Alarm Systems

Commercial premises across Manchester, Stockport and Tameside often need part-set arming (alarming offices and stockrooms while staff still work in production), access-controlled disarming with individual user codes for audit trail, integration with CCTV recording, and ARC-monitored signalling. We design and install fully graded systems for retail, industrial units, offices and warehouses.

Monitoring Options

Every system we install can be self-monitored via the Texecom Connect app, professionally monitored by a UK-based Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), or both. Monitored signalling escalates an activation to keyholders within minutes typically faster than any neighbour could react.

Smart Home Integration

All Texecom systems we install integrate with smart locks, CCTV, lighting and heating via Texecom Connect, IFTTT and the SmartCom module. Arming the alarm at night can simultaneously lock all doors, switch off lights and arm exterior cameras one tap, whole-house secured.

FAQ

Straight answers, no jargon.

Question not answered here? Call 01457 321102.

How much does alarm installation cost in Manchester or the North West?+

Domestic intruder alarm installations start from £395, fixed-price and itemised. Final pricing depends on property size, number of zones and any monitoring or smart-integration options. Commercial systems are quoted per project.

How long does the installation take?+

A typical 3-bed home install is completed in a single day. Larger properties or commercial premises may take 1–3 days. We work cleanly, hide cabling, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need an alarm for my home insurance?+

Many North West insurers either require a professionally installed alarm or offer significant premium discounts for one. Always check your individual policy we're happy to advise on the grade required (typically Grade 2 for residential, Grade 3 for commercial).

What's the warranty on a new alarm system?+

Every install comes with a full 12-month guarantee on all parts and labour. Extendable service and maintenance contracts are available if you'd like cover beyond that.

Can the alarm be controlled from my phone?+

Yes every system we install includes the Texecom Connect app. Arm, disarm, check sensor status and receive push-notification alerts from anywhere in the world.

Do you cover my area?+

We cover the entire North West Manchester, Stockport, Tameside, Glossop, the High Peak, Cheshire, Lancashire and Salford. Based in Glossop, we aim to respond to emergencies as quickly as possible.

What happens if the alarm goes off when I'm away?+

App push-notifications hit your phone within seconds. If your system is monitored, the ARC contacts you and your nominated keyholders and follows your agreed escalation plan.

Can you upgrade my existing alarm rather than replacing it?+

Often, yes. If your existing wiring and panel are sound we can upgrade keypads, add wireless devices, install app-control modules or replace specific sensors. We'll always recommend repair over replacement when it makes financial sense.
