MDS installed an alarm system in January 2023. The company are polite, professional and punctual. The work was completed as arranged and on time. Since then I have had to call on MDS to deal with a couple of issues caused by additional work on the house (not related to their installation). They responded quickly and were very helpful in dealing with other trades professionals, when I was unable to be on site.

Mike serviced my house alarm. I called him late in the evening not expecting an immediate reply but he called back right away. Very impressed. He then agreed to come out first thing the next day to do the work. He arrived when he said he would and completed the works very quickly and competently. A lovely man too. Highly recommend.

Installation of alarm system at my mother home along with ongoing servicing of that system.
Investigation of alarm system installation at my own home which was causing problems. An upgrade to that system to make its use easier and on going servicing of that system.
Dealing with Mike has been extremely easy, he has a huge amount of expertise and knowledge and very quickly found the issues we were having and dealt with the problem and made some simple recommendations to make the existing system easier to use. A very professional company.
I have no hesitation in recommending MDS Security Systems.

When looking to upgrade our security system, our neighbours recommended we contact MDS for a quote.
We did so, along with our existing alarm supplier, and I was very impressed.
Mike came out to see us very quickly and immediately understood what we wanted. What made a real impression on me was that he didn’t over-complicate things nor try to “upsell” aspects we didn’t need (which our existing supplier did!)
The quote was very competitive and given he came highly recommended, he got our business. He was very flexible with installation dates too, particularly as our extension build overran.
On the day, his colleague Michael arrived and quickly and quietly just got on with things. He was respectful of our property and was a pleasure to have in the house.
We’re delighted with the system and the post installation support Mike offers.
I’d have no hesitation to recommend MDS to anyone.

Highly professional service from start to finish. Beginning with a survey of the property, Mike listened to our family requirements to provide higher levels of security and reassurance to my mother and the rest of the family. Mike offered solutions to meet our our needs and additional sulutions.
Installation included cameras, wireless doorbell and an upgrade to the current alarm system installed. Everything was very reasonably priced and delivered very good value for money. I would strongly recommend MDS Security Systems.

The whole burglar alarm system was reviewed and, where necessary, renewed. It was complex and I was hugely impressed by the detailed assessment and care taken to make it fit for purpose. I was also offered the opportunity to upgrade the smoke/heat detector system which I gratefully accepted. At all times I felt that the whole approach was professional, efficient and reassuringly good.

Intruder alarm installed in my home. Fantastic service from the get go! Would highly recommend. Contacted Mike after seeing reviews on here and he replied straight away. He installed the alarm system over a few hours, he was tidy, considerate of my home, and very thorough and took away all my old cabling and alarms. He checked in after a few days to ensure I was happy with everything. My mum has already asked him to install an alarm for her house!

I have used MDS for several years, initially to service another installers system, before having the system replaced by MDS.
Mike is wholly reliable, contactable and the work was carried out to the highest standards.
