Intruder Alarms in Brighton and Hove
Intruder alarm installation covers fitting a wired or wireless alarm system — control panel, door and window sensors, and motion detectors — sized to the number of zones needed to cover a property, distinct from any separate monitoring or call-out contract with a security company.
In Brighton and Hove, that covers Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade. Brighton and Hove is known for its Regency architecture, extensive Victorian terraced housing, and later 20th-century development, all within a compact coastal city where many properties are in conservation areas and a significant number are listed.
Coverage
Areas we cover in Brighton and Hove for intruder alarms
Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

FAQs
Intruder Alarms in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide intruder alarms across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
Do I need a monitored alarm or is a standalone system enough?
It depends on your preference and any insurance requirements. A standalone system sounds locally when triggered, while a monitored system connects to a response service under a separate contract arranged with a monitoring provider — we can install either.
Wired or wireless — which is better?
Wired systems are often more reliable long-term but more disruptive to install into a finished property, while wireless systems are quicker to fit and better suited to retrofits. We discuss which suits your property during the survey.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
