“Direct Alarms and Security Ltd removed our old Home alarm system, due to the control pad wearing out. After a discussion With James from DA&S as to the best way to replace the existing system it was decided to use the existing wiring and replace the main control panel and keypad, as the old system had been in for the past 30 odd years we had the sensors replaced as well. The work was carried out by James to our complete satisfaction. Great service from all concerned, would not hesitate to recommend DA&S Ltd to anyone.”

Highlights
“James from Direct Alarms very professionally quoted for and installed our new alarm system. Having approached several companies, we found that Direct Alarms could install the hybrid alarm system that we wanted at a sensible price. The easy-to-read keypad with the large blue screen, complete with proximity tag readers, is very easy for any of our key holders to use. We also set the alarm at night using a remote fob or the easy-to-use app on our phones. Direct Alarms have several engineers, a receptionist and a shop, so they are easy to contact with a straightforward approach and are reliable.”
“Amazing response to my initial call. Excellent communication and swift resolution to fix fault. Highly recommended”
