INSTALLATION, UPGRADES & SUPPORT
A service shaped around your requirements.
The equipment, installation and finishing are considered together, with a written scope before work begins.
Video doorbells
We review the entrance, fixing position, available power and network connection before selecting the installation approach. Discuss the desired view, indoor alerts and app access. Any recording service or subscription is confirmed as part of the equipment discussion.
Audio & video intercoms
Discuss an entrance panel, indoor communication points and the way residents need to answer visitors. Existing wiring, building layout and the chosen equipment are reviewed together. Where several occupants or a shared entrance are involved, permissions and the responsible contact must be established.
Door-entry equipment & access control
We consider the door, compatible entry equipment, power and access arrangements as one scope. The proposal identifies what is included and any specialist work or building-management approval that is needed. No change to a shared or protected entrance is assumed without agreement.
Cabling, network links & making good
Cable routes are planned with the surrounding interior and entrance in mind. Existing cables may be reused where suitable. Additional data points, power work, concealed routes and finishing are identified before the quotation is accepted.
User setup & handover
Agree who will administer the equipment and how users will be added, changed or removed. The everyday controls are demonstrated, with any ongoing service requirements explained. Access codes and account passwords must remain private and should not be sent through an enquiry form.
A clear quotation.
The quotation specifies the entrance equipment, indoor devices, agreed cabling and setup. Door compatibility, power, internet access, permissions, specialist work and ongoing charges are reviewed before booking.
FROM ENQUIRY TO INSTALLATION
Attentive service, from the outset.
Tell us what you need
Send the postcode, the type of entrance and whether you would like a video doorbell, intercom or controlled-entry system. Include existing equipment models where known, but do not share door codes or access credentials.
Review the property
Discuss the existing equipment, access and intended result. Where needed, a visit establishes the practical details before a quotation is prepared.
Agree the work
Review the equipment, installation, exclusions, availability and total cost. Changes to the agreed scope are discussed before additional work proceeds.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROJECT
A clear starting point.
Send the postcode, the type of entrance and whether you would like a video doorbell, intercom or controlled-entry system. Include existing equipment models where known, but do not share door codes or access credentials.
Discuss the scope first. A quotation, availability and the next steps are agreed before any work is booked.
The existing panel, indoor units, wiring and any shared-building arrangements need to be reviewed first. We then set out whether a replacement or an upgrade is suitable.
Can a video doorbell work with my current wiring?
That depends on the selected device and the existing supply and wiring. Compatibility is checked before the installation method is confirmed.
Do shared entrances need extra checks?
Yes. Tell us who manages the building and who can authorise the work. Equipment choice and installation must be agreed with the relevant responsible parties before changes are made.
Can entry equipment be included in a wider project?
Yes. Door entry can be considered alongside home security, electrical work and network cabling, with the related tasks included in one clearly defined scope.
Which London areas do you cover?
We welcome enquiries from Knightsbridge, Fulham, Chelsea, Mayfair, Belgravia and Kensington, with wider central and west London work considered by postcode and availability.
