I am interested in recommendations for a burglar alarm system (preferably wireless) + keyholding/alarm response service. We live in a flat and have the alarm mainly as deterrent: access to our flat is quite easy via two balconies, and installing proper security doors on the balconies would be very expensive. I'm not really interested in non-monitored systems.

We live in SE London, zone 2. We currently have a wireless alarm with ADT, and a keyholding and alarm response contract with Banham CMS keyholding. The keyholding company sends someone on a motorcycle to inspect the property if the alarm goes off, plus of course they'd open the door for us if we ever lost the keys / got mugged etc.

We currently pay ca. ?27 per month for ADT and about ?250 per year for the keyholding.

When we went with ADT about 3 years ago, I remember Banham was way more expensive.

I have heard of people with Verisure ( www.verisure.co.uk ) ; the system seems more advanced, with CCTV and guard response, so it could probably replace the ADT + keyholding combination.

Has anyone heard of Verisure? I haven't asked for a detailed quote yet. Or maybe other alternatives? Or should I maybe just stick to ADT?

Thanks.

  Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics. Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145

  Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening. When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next. Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden. We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space. Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together. I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.

  Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...

  Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country. Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
