WHY DO I NEED MAINTENANCE?
Batteries wear down, sensors drift out of calibration, wiring loosens and control panels can develop software issues. Security system maintenance is about catching those problems early, before they leave gaps in your home's protection.
The National Security Inspectorate (NSI), the UK security industry's independent regulatory body, recommends that security systems are kept regularly maintained, and we recommend annual servicing for both security and fire systems. A home burglar alarm system that fails can leave you exposed to a break-in and may affect your insurance cover. If your alarm is monitored with a police response, it also has to be maintained by a company holding a police recommended accreditation such as NSI Gold. Spy Alarms maintains our own security and fire alarm installations and those fitted by other companies.




The checks carried out depend on the type of system you have, and we will talk you through what is covered during the survey.

We recommend that your security and fire systems are serviced at least once a year, in line with National Security Inspectorate (NSI) guidelines. A yearly visit gives an engineer the chance to find developing faults before they cause a failure.
Regular servicing means your system stays fully operational, faults are caught early so you are less likely to have a system failure or false alarm, and you stay compliant with police and insurer requirements.
Yes. We maintain systems we have installed and systems fitted by other companies. At your site survey we check the condition of the system and explain what ongoing maintenance would involve.
Our engineer explains what they have found and what is needed to put it right. Any work beyond the standard visit is discussed with you before it goes ahead.
Some insurers look favourably on a well maintained, accredited alarm system, though this varies by insurer and policy, so it is worth checking with your provider. The main reason to maintain your system is so that it works when you need it.
