My name is John Mullan and I'm a retired fire officer with 30 years' service and an additional 16 years as a Building and Facilities Manager in Glasgow's City Park.
I sell and fit interlinked smoke and fire detectors conforming to Scottish Government regulations introduced in February 2022 and now required in all homes by law. Insurance companies also invariably have a clause in the contract to the effect that the property complies with Building Regulations.
These radio frequency alarms are installed at very reasonable prices, typically £140 to £175, without mess or the need for expensive electrical work, and usually within a day or two of ordering. I'm happy to give an estimate on the phone and can take calls between 9.00am and 9.00pm.
Please see my reviews. I have never had a customer who was dissatisfied with my work or prices, and regularly receive referrals from them for friends and neighbours.

I needed two old smoke alarms removed and new ones fitted to my home to comply with new Government guidelines. When I phoned John Mullan he was clear and upfront about the cost of the products, which included fitting and VAT. I was surprised and delighted when he agreed to visit my home the very next day to fit the alarms, and he fitted these quickly and without any mess. John is a very pleasant man and a skilled trader. He explained in easy to understand terms how to use the products, e.g., what to do in the event the alarm should sound and how to reset it, when I should phone the emergency services if I felt it necessary, and he suggested I phone his number if I thought there was a fault with one of the alarms. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to my friends and family for similar work.

John Mullen was swift in response to my request for smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms. He answered my questions fully and with knowledge of products. He was efficient and clean with fitting the alarms. I took a lot of confidence from his knowledge and advice. The price was up front and very reasonable.

I had a faulty fire/smoke alarm. John, a retired senior fireman, fitted new alarms quickly, then synchronised and tested them with clear instructions. Value for money, excellent service, highly recommend him, very professional.

John came to fit alarms in line with the new Scottish Legislation Requirements in my home. He was professional, approachable and efficient. He came to look at my flat and was able to fit them there and then. I found the whole process simple and easy to understand and John was very professional. John was able to answer any questions and queries I would highly recommend John to any other customers.

Mr Mullan was recommended to me by a friend and in turn I have recommended him to two friends. I found Mr Mullan had a very cheery personality and was very efficient when carrying out his work. His explanation of how the alarms worked was very easy to understand.

I responded to a flyer put through my door. When I was ready to install the new type smoke alarms, I phoned. I spoke with John Mullan right away - I didn't have to leave a message and he had time the same day. He explained the product, the service offered and the cost. He was at my door well within the time he said he would be there. He explained what he was going to do, what he was doing and what the procedures were regarding the product. He was genuine, knowledgeable and very kind. And he introduced me to the benefits of Trusted Trader which I'll make use of.
