Cost of intruder alarm 3 bed bungalow

Hi,

Can anyone give me arough estimate of the type of quote to expect to get an alarm fitted on a 3 bed bungalow. It will need 4-5 sensors, 2 being pet ones. A reasonable fully wired system not wireless.

Thankyou

  • If it's any use, I had a system installed about 2 years ago.

    I have a 3 bed end of terrace and it needed 4 sensors, although none are pet sensors. Total cost was £400.

    At the same time my OH had a system installed. She has a massive 5 double-bedroomed cottage and pets. Off the top of my head there are around 6-8 sensors, one of them being a pet sensor. The system is linked to a call centre to ring us (or 2 other numbers) when it's is activated.

    The total cost for her was £1000.

    We live in S. Wales so maybe the installation costs are a bit cheaper than elsewhere, but if you budget for around £500-600 you shouldn't be far away.

    HTH
  • cheers thats about the figure I had in mind but then someone else worried me by saying they paid £1000 for a cash in hand job on the weekend!

    The surveyor is putting the quote in witing so should get it by monday
  • What do the pet sensors do?
