Areas we cover in Brighton and Hove for alarms & monitoring
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
Alarms & Monitoring in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide alarms & monitoring 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.
What's the difference between a monitored and unmonitored alarm?
A monitored alarm connects to a 24-hour alarm receiving centre that can alert keyholders or, in some cases, the police when it activates. An unmonitored alarm sounds locally and may send an app notification, but there's no third-party response service behind it.
Does my insurer require a monitored alarm?
Some insurers require a monitored alarm for higher-value contents or particular property types — check your policy wording. We can install to meet the standard your insurer specifies where you confirm the requirement.
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.
