Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Keith leads a great team- delivering burglar alarm & CCTV solutions, and visited us today for our annual service. Definitely talk to Keith to get some great advice on all things security.
I spoke to Kevin with an emergency late at night as our outside alarm wouldn’t turn off. Kevin was able to talk me through how to fix it step-by-step over the phone. Very helpful and fantastic service, would definitely recommend!
Gentleman was polite excellent at finding fault and rectifying it.He was an excellent person
Although they did not fit the original alarm box, they were absolutely professional in the activity of resolving the problem. They were very helpful and encouraging to satisfy my homes needs. Thank you so much for your help and support, and quick response on a Sunday evening!!
Amazing service by Keith of Active Alarms. Told him my problem and was on it in a flash. Talked me through the repair on the phone and we was up and running again. Made it simple and explained everything. Would certainly recommend him and use again. Mike

Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 14 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.
