What to include in your alarm and security installer job post
The clearer your description, the easier it is for a tradesperson to quote accurately. A good job post includes:
- Your postcode, so the right local traders are alerted
- What needs doing, and roughly how big the job is
- Photos or a short video of the work area, plus parking and access details
- Any deadline, and whether the job is urgent
- Describe the property, the entrances you want covered, and whether you want cameras, an alarm, monitoring or all three.
How to choose an alarm and security installer
Each profile shows badges for the checks our team has made, such as ID checked or Insurance uploaded. A badge tells you what we looked at, not that we recommend the trader, so read the profile and ask questions. Reviews on Arkadia come from jobs booked through Arkadia, so every review is real.
Worth checking before you hire:
- Registration with a recognised installer scheme such as NSI or SSAIB
- Your home insurer’s approval of the alarm, if your policy requires it
- A written quote that lists the equipment, installation and any monitoring costs
- Advice on where CCTV cameras can legally be placed
Ask which installer scheme the company belongs to, and check whether your home insurer has any requirements for alarms.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an alarm and security installer cost?
Prices depend on the size of the job, the materials and how easy the work is to reach, so the most reliable way to know is to compare written quotes. Post your job for free and local alarm & security installers can quote for the work you need.
Should I get more than one quote?
Yes. Comparing two or three written quotes for the same work, materials and timescale helps you spot anything missing or unusually priced.
How can I check an alarm and security installer is insured?
Ask to see their public liability insurance certificate before any work starts, and check it covers the type of work you need. Look for the Insurance uploaded badge on a profile, but we do not assess the cover, so confirm the insurance yourself.
How many alarm & security installers will contact me?
Only up to 3 traders can take up each job, so you hear from a few alarm & security installers who want the work rather than a crowd. If nobody replies within 24 hours, we step in.
What should a written quote include?
A clear description of the work, the materials and who supplies them, the price or payment stages, the start date and estimated timescale, and what happens if the job changes.
