    We do install a lot in new builds but not often via house builder expect one house builder does get commission if they get they can get home owner to get alarm fitted which I think works well however our sales team go and target the new homes after a few weeks of people moving in. Which most people do welcome alarm just to feel safer as if you talk about all there new gadgets and how you don't really know your neighbours and how burglar more likely to rob a house without alarm. Yea most people do expect Wireless Alarms and I understand that with a new house but again most new houses you can't paint or put much on wall as you need allow the house to settle. Adding Circuits - We are like other poster, We get our sparks to come in add a circuit and try get any extra jobs while at it from customer but i unsure what actual rule is as I know company policy is I am not allowed to touch electrics on any property and I must call our sparks however our sparks work for same company so I think its just insurance but I can image it be law as you don't want 'Dodgy Alarm Fitter who thinks he knows what he doing and burns down a house'

    I must admit I have saw these sort of things happen example is a Well Known Department Store always calls us as there Fire Door always used to open at random points. My method is that it was due to it was wood, We since fitted new doors and now never get calls. The staff used to blame the Ghost of the old Shop Manager who is known for moving displays and etc.

    I have to go to a Regular Haunt in a Army Office. Always have to work after 5pm and I am sure that place is haunted as I keep hearing feet noises on the floor above and when I ask if I was the only person their they say yes, However I just say 'Oh they must been playing about' and few other contractors and staff have said that funny things do happen when they are working like filing cabinets in middle of floors and chairs just moving.

    Most Scary thing I ever saw was in my Trainee Monkey Days A*T trainee. We were at a Old mental Hospital being converted into a Posh Spa and Hotel, So we were taking out the Old Alarms and fitting new ones. During this we had a Onsite Security and that morning when going in as normal there was the Area Manager in Cabin looking like he saw a ghost and they never said nothing. Until 9 weeks later when doing a walk thru to check all the alarms are working and all I saw was pair of Ladders fly across one side of a room. I thought oh must be one the plasters or etc trying scare me however found out everyone left apart from us to do the Walkthru. I did ask the site foremen who explained that that area was for the mentally insane and that there was a fire in the 1930s who killed 6 people and they apartly haunt the land. We then found out that the Security Guards did see a ghost and the guard swore never to return to that site and never talks about what he saw. The site has now been knocked down due to the Spa & Hotel closed down due to it was too active and is 5 a side pitches & Leisure centre is going there. However I sworn I never ever go back there!
