Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with the system type, the fault's complexity and the materials required. Camera/CCTV and alarm panel faults typically need more labour and parts than routine, accessible system checks, and having to involve electrical or network work or attend after-hours can also increase the overall cost.
System type and fault
Camera/CCTV faults and recording issues generally require more time and specialised materials than basic alarm or sensor checks.
Materials and replacement parts
Faults needing new cameras, modules or sensors raise material needs, while verified homeowner-supplied parts may reduce the materials allowance.
Access and site conditions
Difficult roof, ceiling or outdoor access, or working at height, typically increases the time and effort required on site.
Electrical/mains work and hazards
Issues requiring safe isolation or mains intervention often need electrician involvement and add complexity to the job.
Timing and after-hours attendance
Work done outside normal business hours, or requiring rapid attendance, typically attracts higher rates and may affect scheduling.
