Reece carried out my alarm maintenance…

Reece carried out my alarm maintenance service this morning. I received a reminder 24 hours prior to the appointment, he was on time, charming, polite and professional and kept me informed at every stage of what he was doing and gave me detailed information on my battery life. I recommend Reece highly.

Great service

Reece arrived on time, was very polite, and efficiently carried out the service. He explained to me an App that permits remote monitoring of the alarm system, and will send me further details. A positive experience!

Polite and efficient

Reece turned up on time, was extremely polite and efficient. Suggested an upgrade but wasn’t at all pushy.
Couldn’t have been easier

Security Review

Our security review was carried out today by Reece. He arrived within the time slot we'd been allocated, was polite and kept me informed as to what he was doing. He also answered a couple of simple questions I had.

Great experience

I have used Direct Security for several years. Reece my regular engineer is cheerful, friendly, polite, patient and is very knowledgeable with regard to answering any alarm related questions I may have. He always takes his shoes off when he comes into my house, which I find particularly endearing as it shows the respect he has for peoples home. Reece is an asset to the company.

Cost of batteries for Wireless System excessive

Although the service guys are very efficient, the prices they charge for the batteries for WiFi systems is nothing short of a rip off. At least a 100% markup (14 batteries at £83)
Bearing in mind this is on top of the Service charge !
I have questioned this cost but feel it is really excessive

Recent service

Reece arrived on time and was polite, professional and courteous. The service was thorough and Reece answered all my questions, demonstrating a great knowledge of the equipment and how it operates. We have been with Direct Security for nearly 20 years now and can thoroughly recommend them.
