Hello!


I need some advice on alarms/ security system.


I have heard awful awful reviews on ADT.


Can anyone recommend an alarm company?


How do parents cope with children and alarms , how do you structure your system? as i still need to go to the kitchen in the middle of the night to get milk for my daughter if the alarm is activated how does this all work?

I am totally new to alarm systems but we really need one in the street we live in, its a quiet place!

Hello, we had an alarm fitted a few years ago and used Aardvark security, I don't have anything to compare him to price wise, but Tony is a lovely chatty guy and very knowledgeable. He's down in Kent but often in this area. we have an alarm panel upstairs and downstairs for that exact reason.

We have a system where you can put the 'home' setting on, so no-one can get in or out of windows and doors, but you can move around inside all the rooms. And then when we go out, we put the full system on with sensors. Which means a small person can't wander downstairs at night and set the whole thing off!


I also heard bad reviews of ADT, with their yearly maintenance fees. We used a local company - Home Security Services in Kirkdale, Sydenham, and they weren't too pricey and very helpful.

We have three modes on our alarm, full set, downstairs, and perimeter.


Downstairs only activates ground floor sensors, and perimeter only activates doors and windows etc.


Alarm was installed and is also maintained annually by First Protection who are brilliant. The alarm is also monitored for ?25 per month.

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
