Register your intruder alarm
Last year we received in excess of 1559 complaints about the sounding of audible intruder alarms. Current legislation requires all audible intruder alarms to be fitted with a 20 minute cut out device, but if your alarm does not have this function or it fails to work, you are liable for the costs of making your property safe again if we have to force entry to your property to disable your alarm.
It is far better for us to contact a nominated key holder who can open the premises and disable and/or reset the alarm. The police no longer maintain a register of key holders, so we maintain a voluntary register of key holders. By registering your key holder details, you could avoid substantial costs should your alarm malfunction. It’s as simple as filling in an online form and could save you hundreds of pounds!
You can submit your details using our online form.
If you need further information, please contact us on 020 7641 7010 during normal office hours.
