Highlights
“Installed a new monitored alarm to replace an old system. Ben provided the initial survey and quote and then returned to fit, along with Richard.. Reliable service. A very neat job with no mess and all waste removed. I chose DGS because of the reviews that I saw and in no way have I been disappointed. A five star jon all around.”
“Came round to give us a quote after a few days. Quote was reasonable and confirmed by email. Alarm replaced after a couple of weeks. The chap that installed it didn’t have a break all day . Friendly guy who obviously knew what he was doing. Didn’t leave any mess around when he left. Really pleased with the work he did. 10/10”

I found DGS very professional both in the initial installation and in the post sales support

Following removal of our old alarm system, DGS quoted for a replacement system, which we were happy to accept. Ben called as arranged to fit the new system, and did an excellent job. He gave a full explanation of what he was going to do before he started, and then checked with us a t each stage to ensure we were happy. The job was completed with no mess, and we were given a full explanation of how to use the system.

I have been been a GDS Security Services customer for 30 years. They have always been helpful on the few occasions that I have needed to speak to a member of the firm. Their annual servicing has been arranged on a mutually agreed date and carried out expeditiously. We moved to our current home 23 years ago and DGS installed the Alarm system very neatly despite the fact that the property had been newly plastered and painted. DGS have just upgraded the system with a new control panel , keypad, back up battery and "RISCO" Cloud and APP facility to provide remote access to the control Panel.

Had a fault with our current system that after reviewing decided that as parts of it were probably over 30 years old would replace the system with a modern wireless alarm. Arranged day for fitting. Engineer turned up and fitted alarm within 1/2 day timeframe and showed us how to use system and phone app. Did Excellent job and would recommend DGS

Electrical work in homes in England & Wales should be done by a registered competent person who can self-certify it meets the Part P safety rules. Check they're on the official register.
Check the electrical registerIn England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations. Confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done. It is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
