Burglar alarm installation in Manchester
- 01
Wired or wireless alarms
Wired alarms connect every sensor to the panel by cable, which makes them very reliable but means more cabling during the install. Wireless alarms use battery-powered sensors that are quicker to fit and suit finished homes. Both work well when properly installed.

Sensors and coverage
A typical system uses door contacts on entry doors, motion sensors in key rooms and hallways, and an external bell box with a strobe light. We place sensors to cover the routes an intruder is likely to take, without triggering on pets if you have them.

Alerts and app control
Bells-only alarms sound a siren to scare off intruders and alert neighbours. Many modern systems also send alerts to your phone and let you set or unset the alarm from an app. We help you choose the level of alerting that suits you.
What to expect from a burglar alarm installation
We start with a survey of your property, looking at entry points, room layouts and whether you have pets. We recommend wired or wireless equipment and how you'd like to be alerted, then give you a free, no-obligation quote for the system.
On installation day, we fit the control panel, keypad, sensors and external siren, and connect the panel to a mains supply. We test every sensor and the siren, set up your codes and any app, and show you how to set, unset and part-set the alarm.
What's included
- A security survey
- Door contacts and motion sensors

Burglar alarm installation questions
Will my dog set off a burglar alarm in my Manchester home?
Not if the right sensors are used. Pet-tolerant motion sensors ignore animals up to a certain weight, and we position them to reduce false alarms. Tell us about your pets during the survey and we'll plan the sensors around them.
How long does burglar alarm installation take in Manchester?
A wireless alarm in a typical home is usually fitted in half a day to a day. Wired systems take longer, as cables need running to each sensor. Commercial premises vary with size. We'll confirm the expected time when we give you your quote.
Can I control my Manchester burglar alarm from my phone?
Many modern alarms can be set and unset from an app, and send alerts to your phone if they're triggered. This needs the panel to be connected to your internet or a mobile signal. We'll recommend a system with app control if that's important to you.
Should I choose a wired or wireless alarm for my Manchester property?
Wired alarms suit homes being renovated or rewired, as cables can be hidden easily. Wireless alarms suit finished homes, as they avoid lifting floors or chasing walls. Both can be reliable, and we'll recommend the best fit for your property during the survey.
