I recently moved into a new house and declined to buy the Yale wireless solution that was installed by the previous owners. I'm sure it would have done the job, but I was already considering getting a wired solution and didn't want to waste money on something I'd be taking down in a few months.

Anyway. I had a local company (NSI accredited) do a survey and give me a quote. The guy who came round seemed very thorough and professional, but before I sign on the dotted line I just want to make sure I'm not being had!

It is a 3 bedroom terrace and he quoted for 1 door contact (front door) and 4 PIR's with a live box at the front and a dummy in the back. Main panel on second floor with keypad on downstairs wall.

For a noise only system fully installed he quoted around £900.

For a noise + voice call system fully installed he quoted around £1100.

For a noise + centrally managed system fully installed he quoted around £1200.

The two last options obviously have yearly service charges in addition.

Are the prices reasonable?

I'm in High Wycombe if anyone wants to compete for my business. Just send me a PM..

Are the prices reasonable?

Those prices seem a little on the steep side to be honest...

I`m sure a few from here will be in touch.

As Above

Ouch..............

There again i bet this company have their own private helicopter for callouts..

thanks guys! i had a feeling this was a bit steep.

i've had one recommended company to contact for a quote, but if you have any other recommended companies operating in the High Wycombe/Thames Valley area I'd be ecstatic.

Unless you know what equipment is been quoted for, how can you say if its a bit steep or not

It's like saying is my car is black, with 4 wheels is it worth £10,000?

fair point i guess, but let's just for the hell of it assume that it is mid-range equipment. ie not gold plated but still made from something a little better than recycled milk cartons

Wouldn't it be better to say what equipment (make,model etc) that you have been quoted..

Then people could give you a better idea if its a bit steep or not....

or don't you know what equipment has been quoted.
