What we install in Ruislip
One installer for the whole house
Most Ruislip customers start with one thing — an old alarm that keeps going off, or a camera for the side passage — and end up wanting it all to work together. We design alarm, cameras and doorbell as one system on one app, and for businesses we add door entry and access control.
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 Ruislip homes
Ruislip grew up around the Metropolitan line in the 1920s and 30s, and much of HA4 is the classic Metroland semi. Around the old village there are older and larger houses, and South Ruislip has a busy commercial side. Each needs a different approach.
Ruislip Manor, South Ruislip, Ruislip Gardens
Front door, a side passage to the garden, and very often a single-storey rear extension or a loft conversion.
- 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.
Around Ruislip village and the Common
Older and bigger houses with larger gardens, garages and outbuildings, some close to the woods and the Lido.
- Cameras placed to identify faces at the door and gate, not just show the drive.
- Garages and garden rooms covered on the same system.
- Equipment kept discreet where the setting matters.
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.
High Street, Victoria Road and the trade estates
Shops on the High Street and trade units around South Ruislip need cameras that capture faces and number plates, an alarm that reports to your phone, and often door entry or fob access for staff. We fit all of it and set up the signage and recording policy your data protection duties require.
Ruislip sits in the London Borough of Hillingdon. Parts of the old village are conservation areas — we keep external equipment discreet and will tell you at the survey if anything is worth checking with the council first.

FAQs
Security in Ruislip: your questions answered
How much does a burglar alarm cost in Ruislip?
It depends on the house. 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 Ruislip Manor semi needs far fewer devices than a large house near the Common. You get a fixed written quote before any work is booked.
How much does CCTV cost in Ruislip?
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 Ruislip 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 and no redecorating. Wired systems are best when you are renovating and the walls are open, installed as separate first and second fix visits.
Do you install security for shops and trade units in South Ruislip?
Yes. We install CCTV, intruder alarms, door entry and access control for shops, workshops, trade units and offices across Ruislip, and set up the signage and recording policy your data protection duties require.
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.
Do I need permission for CCTV in Ruislip village?
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 parts of the old village are conservation areas where it is sensible to check with Hillingdon Council first. We keep equipment discreet and can advise at the survey.
Which parts of Ruislip do you cover?
All of HA4: Ruislip village, Ruislip Manor, South Ruislip, Ruislip Gardens and Ruislip Common, plus neighbouring Ickenham, Eastcote and Northwood. We are based in Harrow, around fifteen 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.
