Pricing guide
The cost of a security fault call depends mainly on system complexity and whether the issue is isolated or indicates wider infrastructure problems. Standard residential faults are typically handled with diagnostic and repair time plus common parts, while integrated or commercial-grade systems often need longer diagnostics, configuration and possible IT coordination or follow-up visits. A separate callout fee is applied in addition to labour and materials.
System complexity and integration
Networked CCTV or access-control integrations usually require more diagnostic and configuration time than standalone devices.
Extent of infrastructure issues
Faults that point to power, cabling, recorder or network infrastructure typically increase diagnostic scope and may need major component work.
Parts and component replacement
Replacing recorders, power supplies or major modules usually increases the scope beyond a simple onsite repair.
Need for specialist trades or IT
Jobs that require an electrician, scaffold, or coordination with IT or site security commonly take longer and may need follow-up visits.
Callout timing and attendance
A separate callout fee applies and after-hours attendance or emergency visits typically attract higher rates.
