Must be using gold plated PIRs

Its over the top price wise.

Tell him to get quotes from a couple of approved companies, like us and Wolf. This will give him a true idea of what he should be paying, and if he went with us or Wolf he would get a proper job done at a fair price.

Quotes are free after all.

Total rip-off, get some more quotes from SSAIB or NSI approved company.

15Km of cable though

Hang on a minute here guys. Where does it say the company quoting is not approved??

it is difficult to say 100% without seeing it, it could be a very complicated site etc with plenty of known wireless issues.

But on the face of it if its fairly standard then id say its a bit steep. Id assume unapproved firm but as i said i dont know.

Bit more info would help

It doesn't, telling him to use an approved company for a quote is just good advice.

Not if current quote is from approved company.

no one said they were not approved.

The fact is if you use an unapproved company and get ripped off you are in the //.B.W.F.//, if you use an approved company you can go through SSAIB or NSI and get it sorted out.

was it this lot by any chance? http://www.eec-homesecurity.com/
