FAQs
Alarms & Monitoring in Lewes: FAQs
Do you provide alarms & monitoring across all of Lewes?
Yes, we cover the BN7 postcode area in full, including Cliffe, Southover, Landport, Nevill, Malling, Wallands.
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.
How does South Downs National Park status affect building work in Lewes?
Development within the National Park is assessed with particular regard to landscape character and setting, alongside normal planning policy. Combined with the town's conservation area and listed building status, this means early advice is particularly valuable in Lewes.
