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.

Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Hopwood Security Systems, including the highlights above. The 150 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
My ancient burglar alarm finally broke so I contacted Paul (HSS) who gave me a quote and arrived on time on the day and just quietly got on with the job. He took time to explain the alarm and ensured I understand. I would highly recommend Paul who just quietly got on with fixing the new alarm, never stopping till it was fitted and I was satisfied and understood the new system. He took the old sensors down and did as neat a job as he could, trying not to disturb the decorations, he then cleaned up after himself. Competitive price and didn't deviate from the original quote and to phone anytime if a problem
Amazing service, Paul responded to our query within 5 minutes and booked us in the next day. Very reliable, professional and polite, will definitely use him again and recommend him to family and friends.
