Maintenance & Support
Here at Complete Security installing your Alarm or CCTV System is just the start. Our service engineers are on hand 24/7 to ensure your home or business remain secure. Our maintenance plan is affordable, flexible and gives you piece of mind your system is functioning to NSI Gold Standards and police standards.
If you are a customer of ours, and already in our system, we will remind you when your service is due. If we have not serviced your system before and you don’t know when it was last serviced, it would be a good idea to have a service done and then you will be reminded each year.

Important notice, a stable/reliable network connection must be provided for all systems that require it for remote viewing or control etc. We cannot be liable for errors due to inconsistent network strength. We also cannot cover cable faults outside of the warranty, whether it’s natural wear and tear or accidental damage.
When to service your system?
Audible Alarm Systems should be serviced once a year to ensure that all devices are working properly and that the chance of false alarms is kept to a minimum. This is accordance to NSI & Police guidelines. This is usually a requirement of your home insurance.
Monitored Alarm Systems must be serviced at least twice a year for the monitoring station to continue their service.
A burglar alarm maintenance contract will ensure that your alarm is fully checked on an annual basis but if you want a police-monitoring contract the system will need to be checked twice a year. Alarm checks can be carried out either by an installer visiting your home, or remotely.
We are an NSI Gold Installer, which is a scheme for companies who constantly meet the industry’s highest standards through ISO9000 Quality Management, as well as the relevant British and European Standards. We are routinely vetted to ensure we operate to the highest of standards and are run in a professional and competent manner.
STEP ONE - REMINDERS
All existing customers will have their own file with us, detailed records of the security system installed and engineer visits. We will contact you using your preferred method (Email, Phone or Letter) one month in advance to let you know the maintenance agreement is due for renewal.
You will get a second reminder during the month it is due and then a last reminder six months later. We store your customer file on our secure server, so we are on hand to assist all customers swiftly in or out of the maintenance agreement.
STEP TWO - BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT
When you call our friendly team, we will offer you the next available date. This is usually within four weeks. Appointments are Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 16:00. We offer two hour arrival time slots and also offer a phone call when the engineer is on route.
We work very hard to get the balance right between our availability and customer convenience.
