Looks like I currently have a Pyronix. Can my current panel be reprogrammed to send alerts to my mobile for any intruders without an engineer code? It sent alerts prev to my old phone number which I’ve now changed - what external alarm sounded would be best to add to my system?

You can add a dialer to any panel but you would need someone to default the engineer code and reprogram it.Find a decent company, invite three to quote, ask them if they are able to takeover and update what you have before you get them around for a survey. Choose the company you are most happy with not necessarily the cheapest. A service add sounder and GSM dialer would be around your budget 

Seems the speaker in my panel has given up, crackles if the alarm goes off - second time this has happened. First time it was replaced Under warranty. 
 

I’m using the attached panel, Anyone know the make and model? And where I can find a reasonably priced replacement? It’s hardwired in. Could a new replacement just replace it and the current sensors be programmed in?

the pizeo is replaceable, your installer should be able to replace for a few quid + the visit

 

the current version of the controls supports the existing devices 

I won’t be using the company who installed the alarm, will be a qualified electrician installing the panel. What panel should I be getting? 

Leave the electricians for the electricity, get a local alarm company for the alarm. 

And get 3 quotes and go with the one you feel most comfortable with, they will specify kit they are familiar with.

You could also get a local installer independent house basher to do it , better than electrician, unless he always was an alarm fitter before going live
