Security Red Alert is the trading name of Friendlyshop Ltd. We design, install and service fire alarms, CCTV, intruder alarms, access control and smoke ventilation from our base in Summerstown, SW17, working across all 32 London boroughs with most of our work in South London and central London.
We started in 2001 fitting intruder alarms and CCTV for shops and homes around Wandsworth, Merton and Lambeth. Fire alarms followed as the same customers asked us to look after their whole building rather than call three different contractors. Today fire detection is the largest part of what we do, and the customers who rely on us most are landlords with HMOs, managing agents with blocks of flats, and small businesses that need one contractor they can trust with the lot.
We are still family run. The office is at Security House, 73 Summerstown, and the engineers who go out from it are ours. We do not pass work to subcontractors and we do not send a salesperson to survey a property, so the person quoting the job is the person who understands how it will be installed.
We are members of the British Fire Consortium and hold its Fire Alarm Modules 1 and 2, passed with Distinction. We are SSAIB approved for intruder alarms, SafeContractor accredited and members of the Federation of Small Businesses. Our fire alarm work is carried out to BS 5839 Part 1 for commercial and communal systems and Part 6 for domestic and HMO systems, and we certificate every installation and every service visit.
The people who survey your property are the people who install and service it. Every engineer is employed by us, DBS checked, and works to BS 5839 for fire alarms and the SSAIB scheme for intruder alarms.
Every install and every service visit ends with a certificate in a consistent format. Landlords use them for HMO licensing, managing agents for their compliance files, and businesses for their insurers.
We survey first, quote a fixed price, and stick to it. If we find something on site that changes the job, we stop and tell you before doing anything you have not agreed to.
Call the office and you speak to someone who knows the job. We are small enough to remember your properties and large enough to hold a servicing calendar for a whole portfolio.
Our own DBS-checked engineers and office team. The engineer who surveys your job installs it and services it, and we hold the British Fire Consortium Fire Alarm Modules 1 and 2, passed with Distinction.
