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.
Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
