“What a find! When we decided to upgrade our alarm we asked our neighbours about the company who had done an upgrade on theirs. They sung the praises of ARC alarms who had installed the alarm on their previous property as well, Armed with that recommenation we made contact with the company and from that point everything has been brilliant. Martin, Dean and the staff in the office have been perfect. Martin was meticulous when he arrived, as promised, to meet us and survey our house. He explained everything thoroughly and within 24 hours provided us with a detailed proposal. We accepted the proposal and on the allotted day Dean arrived on time to carry out the installation. His work is of the highest standard and at every stage he consulted with us to ensure that we were happy. He cleaned everywhere he worked and it was impossible to tell that he had been there. He thoroughly explained every aspect of the new system to us before he left, We would highly recommend ARC without reservation.”

“Recently, our Alarm system crashed and I called ARC to fix the problem. Despite these difficult times, an Engineer turned up within 30 hours. Whilst he had never experienced a crash on the same system as ours, he persevered to deliver a positive solution. I thought the response was quite brilliant, and delivered under our maintenance contract.”

“I have no hesitation in recommending ARC Alarms – a great family run business! I had an existing system which is quite old. Having spoken to a few other companies who said it was too difficult to deal with I then spoken with Martin at ARC. He was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He was punctual and took his shoes off as soon as he saw the new carpet! He carried out an assessment of the existing system and gave me a price which was followed up in writing. When I queried a couple of things he immediately set them right and stuck to what we had agreed. Covid came along and so there was a delay in providing the service but as soon as they could, they got in touch to book us back in. Alex came to do the work required and again was punctual and friendly. He did all the work during the morning and was gone by lunchtime. He left all the relevant paperwork and I feel really confident that they will stick to their side of the maintenance agreement for ongoing support. Great!”

“We have used ARC Alarms for around 16 years. They completed our latest installation to our new house professionally and very tidily. Dean did a great job! The alarm is easy to operate and Dean explained all aspects very clearly. I cannot recommend them highly enough. A very satisfied customer.”

“I choose to use Arc as they were a small family business and I was opening a small family business as well. I had a full system installed to a commercial property and wow, what a amazing job, they did exactly what they said, the alarm is great, engineer was great, very experienced and knowledgeable. The whole process was faultless from start to finish and as I have the police response system I look forward to seeing them in the future for the maintenance calls. I would not hesitate to recommend them, they maybe a small family business but the service is really up there with the bigger companies.”

“ARC came out to give a second opinion after another company said our alarm system couldn’t be fixed. Not only did they fix it within 20minutes but they were friendly and helpful to boot. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

“…The surveyor arrives on time and makes sure that you understand the product and that it will give the level of security you want. Another appointment is made for the engineer to come and do the install. On his arrival he is very respectful of your property. He tidied up after himself as he goes and once the install is finished he goes through the system with you so that you understand how it works and he even helps you install the app on your phone. What more could you ask?”

Karim S.

“Arc Alarms are a first class security company. We have found them to be highly professional, extremely knowledgable in their fields of expertise and really lovely people, polite, approachable and a pleasure to be around. This applies to the initial specification meeting with Martin right through to installation and aftercare. The engineers worked as a unified ‘team’ most efficiently and the installation was neat and completed on time. We cannot fault Arc Alarms and we recommend them without hesitation.”

Sue S.

“ARC fixed my existing domestic house alarm, installed a new alarm box and completed a service. Martin came out to visit initially to inspect the alarm and to provide a quote (all free of charge). Alex then came to carry out the work and completed a thorough job, tidying up some lose cables and explaining how the alarm operated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ARC! Very pleased with the service.”

Andrew C.

“Martin came and quoted for our alarm system and when my husband explained he was going into hospital the following week and wanted the house secured for me being on my own, he contacted Andy the engineer who happily agreed to come that Saturday on overtime and fit the system. This is a great company if you are thinking of having a alarm system fitted, Andy came promptly on time and the system was fitted by lunchtime. Many thanks to all at ARC.”

Mandy H.

“I was very impressed with Arc from the initial visit by Martin where we discussed the various options available to us to our alarm instillation by Alex yesterday. Very thorough and got on with it. We have set the alarm a few times now including over night and we are very happy.”

Sam M.

“ARC have provided me with a comprehensive CCTV system covering the whole property. Dean and Alex worked hard on a substantial job in very adverse weather conditions, up and down ladders all day through very cold and windy weather. They handled all the tricky bits I had been worried about and were happy to fine tune the system to just how I wanted it. They were decent friendly people that I felt comfortable with being around my home. Their CCTV system is a product far superior to all those I had previously looked at.”

Ewan C.

“As a chartered architect I work with a large number of different contractors and have to say ARC Alarms is one of the best I have worked with. Especially on projects at home I am quite specific about the quality of contractors and from start to finish Arc were brilliant. Came round for the survey and quote received within a couple of days, answered any queries. On the day of installation the guys were on time, polite, tidy, helpful stayed late to finish cannot fault them at all. Highly recommended.”
