Do I need professionally monitored alarm cover?

Professional monitoring (ARC cover) is optional but provides an additional layer of protection — a monitoring centre responds to activations and can contact you, a key holder or the police on your behalf. Without monitoring, alerts come to your phone only. Monitoring typically costs £15–£25/month.

Will a wireless alarm still work if the internet goes down?

Yes. Wireless alarm sensors communicate with the control panel by radio frequency, which is entirely independent of your internet connection. The smartphone alert function requires internet, but the local siren and bell box operate regardless.

Will pets trigger the PIR sensors?

Modern PIR sensors include pet immunity settings that reduce false triggers from animals up to approximately 25kg at floor level. We configure sensitivity appropriately for your pets and test before leaving.

Can you add zones to my existing alarm?

Possibly, if your existing system uses a compatible wireless protocol. We assess this on survey. For older or incompatible systems, a full replacement is often more cost-effective than partial expansion.

TV Aerial Installation in Taunton

A correctly installed digital aerial is the foundation of reliable Freeview reception. Our engineers carry Ofcom-approved wideband aerials, high-gain models and loft-mounting kits — and always test signal strength before and after installation to confirm full HD channel reception on every multiplex.
Satellite Dish Installation in Taunton

Whether you want Sky Q, Freesat or foreign satellite channels, precise dish alignment is everything. A dish a single degree off true south loses half its signal in poor weather. Our engineers use professional-grade signal meters to align every dish to the exact azimuth and elevation for your satellite — never by eye.
TV Wall Mounting in Taunton

TV wall mounting is not simply bolting a bracket to the wall. Wall type, stud location, cable concealment, HDMI routing and viewing angle all need careful consideration. Our engineers handle every element — leaving a clean, professional result with no visible cables and the screen at the correct height for comfortable viewing.
CCTV Installation in Taunton

A CCTV system is only as effective as its camera placement. Cameras positioned for ease of installation rather than coverage provide an incomplete picture and limited deterrent value. Our engineers assess your property first — identifying entry points, blind spots and the optimal camera positions — before selecting any equipment.
Smart CCTV & Doorbell Cameras in Taunton

Smart video doorbells and outdoor cameras from Ring, Google Nest, Eufy and similar brands are straightforward to buy but often poorly installed. Correct camera angle, a reliable WiFi connection at the installation point, and proper app configuration are all critical for the system to work as advertised.
Aerial & Satellite Repairs in Taunton

Signal faults almost always have a specific, identifiable cause. Our engineers carry calibrated test meters and the most common replacement parts on every van — most faults are diagnosed and resolved in a single visit without the cost of a follow-up appointment.
Multi-Room TV Systems in Taunton

A correctly designed multi-room TV system lets every TV in your home tune to a different Freeview channel simultaneously — without the interference or quality loss of cheap signal splitters. Our engineers specify the correct amplifier for your number of outlets and test signal level at every point before completion.
Starlink Installation in Taunton

Starlink performance depends almost entirely on the dish having a clear, unobstructed view of the northern sky. A poorly sited dish with even partial obstruction can halve throughput and cause frequent outages. Our engineers use the Starlink obstruction app to survey multiple positions before any mounting work begins.
Commercial Installation Services in Taunton

Commercial TV distribution, CCTV networks, data cabling and AV systems for hotels, offices, care homes and retail premises require system design, project management and careful scheduling around operational requirements — all of which our commercial team provides as standard.
Soundbar & Home Cinema Setup in Taunton

Most soundbars underperform not because of their quality but because of how they are set up. HDMI ARC settings incorrectly configured, Dolby Atmos passthrough disabled on the TV, subwoofer positioned in a room corner for convenience rather than acoustics — all common, all easy to fix with the right knowledge.
WiFi Optimisation & Mesh Networks in Taunton

WiFi dead spots almost never have anything to do with your broadband speed. The cause is almost always physical — walls, floors, the distance between your router and the devices that need it most. The solution is either a correctly placed access point or a mesh system with nodes positioned to eliminate the specific dead zone, not just placed wherever is convenient.
Smart Home Setup in Taunton

Most smart home frustration comes from devices from different manufacturers that were never designed to work together, placed on the wrong platform, or set up without automations that make the technology genuinely useful. Our engineers untangle these integrations and set up the automations that make a smart home actually smart.
Data Cabling & Structured Networks in Taunton

A wired Ethernet connection delivers consistently lower latency, higher speed and more reliable performance than any WiFi solution. For home working, 4K streaming to multiple rooms, online gaming and network storage, structured data cabling is the most effective long-term infrastructure investment you can make in your home.
Gutter Cleaning & Repairs in Taunton

Blocked gutters are one of the most common and most preventable causes of damp, foundation damage and fascia rot in UK homes. Most properties need gutter cleaning twice a year — once after autumn leaf fall and once in spring — to prevent the water ingress that causes expensive structural repairs.
