Terraced House - Wireless Or Wired / Approx Costs?

Hi All,

 

I've had a look around and the wireless topics seem fairly old, and I would've hoped the Tech has moved on. So i hope it's ok to post a new topic.

 

Really hoping some of you can offer advice as I've been reading uip on this for a while and I'm getting pretty confused!

 

The House/Requirements

 

It is a mid terraced house in North London. It's in the middle of a long terrace, so the back of the house is not easily accessible. We have two cats which are locked in the rear room at night/when we are away. We are currently renovating the house.

 

The house has three floors; ground, 1st, and a loft extension.

 

I think I would need:

Contacts/Vibration Sensors: Front door, bay windows x 3, rear bifold door, 1st floor rear windows x2.

 

PIRs: Front hallway/reception room, rear kitchen (pet friendly), 1st floor hallway.

 

We would want it to dial and/or text certain numbers when activated.

 

It must be upgradeable, so we can ad/remove PIRs/contacts easily.

 

The Alarm

 

The house is currently going through a large renovation. So now is a good time for wiring. But costs are an issue, and we'd hope that this would cost around £500.

 

We thought wireless, potentially so it could be a DIY job, but also because it would be easy to add/replace items.

 

We want something decent but it does not need to be cutting edge or super-security.

 

Costs

 

How much do you think we should be paying, and should we go for wired or wireless? Personally I would prefer a wireless professional system. But it is costs dependant.

 

Thanks all.

Hi Rossyl

 

Welcome

 

I dont cover North London but I would guess £600 to £800 either way. I would choose hard wired over wireless if possible

really??  are golds that cheap now...  :-

Nope , cannot see that price working in N London.

Average for this is about £1250.00, hard wired.

3 story terraced.

Parking is also atrocious there.

 

£500 ,  no way.

I didnt read the op and missed the vibros but guessed terraced house 1 to 1.5 days lab, 3 to 4 dets panel and bell.

Worked in a few of these and cables can be a right pain.

Had to use G2-20s and RF, hybrid time :D
