What we install in Pinner
One installer for the whole house
Most Pinner customers start with one thing — an alarm that keeps beeping, or a camera for the side passage — and end up wanting the system to work as one. We design alarm, cameras and doorbell together so they share one app and, where it suits, one set of sirens.
CCTV cameras
4K cameras with full-colour night recording, person and vehicle detection, and 30+ days of footage kept at home — no subscription.
CCTV installation →Video doorbells
Wired doorbells that see who's there, record deliveries, and can chime through your alarm sirens so you hear it upstairs.
Ask about doorbells →Alarm upgrades & takeovers
Old panel, lost engineer code, or a system the previous owner left behind? We keep the sound wiring and sensors and replace the brains.

How we approach Pinner homes
Pinner grew up around the Metropolitan line, and most of the housing follows a handful of patterns. Each one has its own weak points, and its own sensible way to cover them.
Rayners Lane, North Pinner, Pinner Green
The classic layout: front door, a side passage to the garden, and very often a single-storey rear extension.
- Door contacts on every external door, motion detectors in the ground-floor rooms.
- That flat-roofed extension is a ladder to the back bedrooms, so we cover the first-floor rooms it reaches.
- Four cameras usually does it: two at the front, one down the side passage, one over the garden.
Pinner Hill, Hatch End, Moss Lane side
Bigger plots mean longer approaches, gates, garages and outbuildings — and more ground for an intruder to cross unseen.
- Cameras placed to identify faces at the gate and front door, not just to show the drive.
- Garden offices, gyms and studios added to the same system, with a range extender or an external-grade duct run.
- A second keypad by the garage or back door where the family actually comes in.
No chasing, no redecorating
If the house is decorated and you're living in it, we fit a wireless system. Detectors are battery powered, the panel talks over your broadband with a SIM as back-up, and a typical house is done in a day with nothing to make good afterwards.
Get the cables in while the walls are open
Pinner has no shortage of loft conversions and back extensions. If you're mid-build, a wired system costs less over its life. We run the cables at first fix, before plastering, and come back at second fix to install and commission — quoted as two separate stages so you know exactly what each visit costs.
Conservation areas and listed buildings: parts of Pinner, including around the High Street, fall within conservation areas. We keep external equipment discreet and will tell you at the survey if anything is worth checking with Harrow Council first.

FAQs
Security in Pinner: your questions answered
How much does a burglar alarm cost in Pinner?
It depends on the house rather than the postcode. Replacing an old panel and keeping your existing wired sensors starts from £495 + VAT. A new system is priced from a free survey, because a 1930s semi near Rayners Lane needs far fewer devices than a detached house on Pinner Hill with a garden office. You get a fixed written quote before any work is booked.
How much does CCTV cost in Pinner?
Guide prices, installed and including VAT: two cameras from £695, four cameras from £1,095 and eight cameras from £1,895. Four cameras covers most Pinner homes: front, side passage and rear garden. Anything that adds cost, such as a long run to an outbuilding or scaffolding, is flagged at the survey.
Can you fit an alarm without damaging decoration?
Yes. In a finished, occupied home we normally install a wireless system such as Ajax, so there is no chasing, no lifting floorboards and no redecorating. Wired systems are recommended when you are renovating and the walls are open, and are installed as separate first and second fix visits.
Do I need permission for CCTV or an alarm box in a Pinner conservation area?
Parts of Pinner fall within conservation areas. Cameras and alarm bell boxes on a house do not normally need planning permission, but a listed building needs listed building consent before anything is fixed to it, and in a conservation area it is sensible to check with Harrow Council first. We position equipment discreetly and can advise at the survey.
Can you cover a garden office or outbuilding?
Yes. Many Pinner gardens have an office, gym or studio at the bottom. We add detectors there on the same system, using a range extender for wireless alarms or an external-grade cable in duct for wired ones, and can add a camera facing the garden.
Can you take over my existing alarm?
Usually, yes, including systems we did not install. Where the existing wiring and detectors prove sound we keep them and replace the panel and keypad, which is far cheaper than a new system.
Which parts of Pinner do you cover?
All of HA5: Pinner village and the High Street, Pinner Hill, Pinner Green, Hatch End, Eastcote and the Rayners Lane side, plus neighbouring North Harrow and Headstone. We are based in Harrow, a few minutes away.
What guarantee do I get?
A 12-month guarantee on our installation work, alongside the manufacturer's warranty on the equipment we supply.
