Protecting your family and your home
You need the peace of mind that your home is protected at all times and that your alarm will be installed in a manner that suits the needs of your family. An intruder alarm is a great deterrent and you have the reassurance that we will install the system which complies with the requirements of your insurance company as well as to the current British standard, PD6662, and BS8243, the NPCC (National Police Chiefs Council) current legislation for police response.
We can ensure reliability, suitability and value by installing only approved equipment and a system which can be monitored off site by our NACOSS Gold Alarm Receiving Centre.
The key factors to consider, when installing a home security system, are that the systems are reliable, user friendly and offer value for money, without compromising on quality and that the company you choose will be there when you need them.
Our quality products and excellent service will ensure that you and your family will be well looked after.
-
Takeover of home intruder alarm systems
We can take over most intruder alarm systems, once we have confirmed that these systems are effective and compliant with current regulations. We offer a free, no obligation assessment of your existing system. We are NSI (NACOSS) Gold and ISO9001 approved.
-
Maintenance of home intruder alarm systems
We offer a full maintenance service of intruder alarms, to National Security Inspectorate (NSI) standards, which meets insurance and police response criteria (if required). Regular maintenance ensures that systems are kept in good and working order and safety is assured.
-
Monitoring of home intruder alarm systems
Systems can be monitored by GPRS (SIM card), IP (Internet Protocol i.e. via broadband) or both for added security. We will advise you on the choice from several manufacturer options including BT Redcare and CSL to ensure that you have the product to meet insurance and functionality requirements. We regularly advise on changes in technology or legislation that can affect communicators so that compliance and the greatest performance are always assured. All signals are monitored by our 24hr NSI Gold approved alarm receiving centre (ARC) to ensure sites are always protected.
Over and above illegal entry, our systems offer 24 hour/7 days a week monitoring of:
Opening and closing of premises
Electricity and battery failure
Hold-up/Duress Alarms – fixed and portable
Fire Alarms connected to the intruder alarm system
-
Response to home intruder alarm systems
The alarm receiving centre (ARC) will contact the keyholders on the list provided. These keyholders will need to check the premises and if they suspect a break-in or personal attack, they will be required to contact the Police. We can arrange for a private security company to respond to alarms; this will incur an additional cost, should it be required..
We are police, or NPCC (National Police Chiefs Council) compliant, so should you require Police response this can also be arranged. It is a police requirement that the intruder alarm conforms to BS8243 standard, to avoid the incidence of false alarms. We will advise you what is required to meet this standard. If the ARC receives a ‘confirmed’ alarm (this will be explained to you) then the Police will be dispatched to the alarm before contacting keyholders.
Astron have carried out major system installs, small additions to existing set ups, and fault finding. Their annual servicing is very thorough, any faults are discussed, and solutions agreed with the engineer.
They are open and informative at every stage of the install and their engineers are dedicated and very professional. The work was completed in a timely manner and to a very high standard.

Having recently updated our alarm system with Astron we couldn’t be happier. The customer support during and after installation has been fantastic, nothing is too much trouble and all our queries – no matter how small – are answered quickly.

The new automatic door you fitted to the main entrance of our building is brilliant. In a building of 50+ apartments there is inevitably a variety of handicapped residents and visitors. The remote control makes such a difference and I can now gain easy access.

We committed ourselves to Astron to install both fire and intruder systems as they seemed very professional. On appointing Astron they quickly set the wheels in motion to install the systems. Simon was very professional in his approach with timescales, and would always update me on the progress of the fit.
Astron has also provided outstanding after care when we have asked various questions about testing the system etc. I would highly recommend Astron to anyone.
