An alarm that beeps, false-alarms, or has stopped working doesn't automatically mean a new system. Most of the time it means one thing needs finding and fixing.
Independent & impartial — we specify what your property needs, nothing it doesn’t.
Nine times out of ten it's the standby battery signalling it's due — a straightforward fix, not a sign the system's finished.
Almost always traced to one detector — a stray draught, a spider, or a sensor that's simply drifted after years on the wall.
Often a power supply or fuse issue rather than anything terminal. Worth a proper look before it's written off.
A control panel that's ten or fifteen years old is very often still perfectly serviceable. Detectors, sounders, batteries and keypads can all be replaced individually. We'll survey what's actually on the wall, tell you honestly what's wrong with it, and only recommend a full replacement where that's genuinely the right call — not because it's the easier sale.

A chargeable visit — such as an alarm takeover assessment or a CCTV compliance check — has its cost confirmed and agreed with you before we attend, never on the day.
In most cases, yes. We regularly take on intruder, CCTV, access and fire systems fitted by others — servicing them, fixing faults, and upgrading where it makes sense.
Often, yes. We work on plenty of legacy and “obsolete” panels that other firms won't touch. Where a system genuinely has reached the end of the road, we'll say so and set out a sensible path forward.
We're honest about this: Apex Property Compliance does not currently hold third-party accreditation — and we're actively working towards obtaining it, as a clear goal for the business. What you get in the meantime is 24 years of hands-on experience and work carried out to the relevant British Standards. If a job specifically needs a certificate only an approved body can issue, we'll tell you that plainly.
