What changes the price

Most of the difference between one job and the next comes down to a few things. Each service page explains them in more detail.

Fire alarms

The size and layout of the building, the category your fire risk assessment sets, and whether the system is conventional, addressable or wireless. HMOs also depend on the grade and your licence conditions.

CCTV

How many cameras you need and what each must see, cable routes, how long you keep recordings, and monitoring.

Access control

The door and the lock it needs, how people get in, the fire alarm interface on escape routes, and the system that manages it.

Intercoms

How many entrances and flats, how you answer, and whether existing cabling can be reused.

Gates

Automating your gates or new gates, swing or sliding, the motors, the safety devices and how you open them.

Barriers

The width of the road, illuminated booms, how the barrier opens, and the groundwork.

Do your prices include VAT?
