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 barns near Dorking be converted to residential use?
It depends on the specific planning history and policy for the building, including whether Class Q permitted development rights apply. This is assessed individually for each building.
