For your business

Commercial intruder alarms for businesses across Telford and Shropshire

Commercial burglar and intruder alarm systems specified around the premises, how the building is used and what the business needs from the system.

Archer surveys, specifies, supplies and installs commercial alarm systems for businesses across Telford, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, Stafford and Wolverhampton.

Specified for the premises, not sold as a package

A commercial burglar alarm should be specified around the building, the areas that need protecting and how people actually use the premises.

We survey the site, discuss the requirement and prepare a system specification and bespoke quotation.

Archer supplies and installs the systems it specifies rather than starting with a standard alarm package or fitting equipment purchased elsewhere.

Alarm requirements for commercial premises

Some businesses have specific alarm requirements because of the nature of the premises, the risk involved or requirements set by their insurer.

If your insurer has given you particular requirements, tell Archer before the system is specified so they can be considered as part of the survey and quotation.

Alarm systems designed around how your business operates

Commercial buildings do not always empty at the same time.

Cleaners, early deliveries, late-working staff and people who need access to particular parts of a building can all affect how an alarm system should be set up.

Understanding those working patterns is part of specifying a system that suits the premises rather than treating the entire building as one standard area.

Useful to know before we quote

  • What parts of the premises need protecting
  • When the building is normally occupied
  • Who needs access outside normal working hours
  • Whether there is an existing alarm system
  • Whether your insurer has provided any particular alarm requirements
  • Whether different areas of the premises need to operate independently

Commercial intruder alarm FAQs

Can you work with requirements from our insurer?

Yes. If your insurer has given you specific alarm requirements, provide those details before the system is specified.

Archer can then consider them as part of the survey and quotation.

Can different areas of a building be protected separately?

That depends on the premises, how the building is used and the system specification.

If different teams, working hours or areas of the building need to operate independently, explain that during the survey so the requirement can be considered when the system is designed.

Can you take over an existing commercial alarm system?

Archer can service and maintain suitable existing alarm systems, including systems installed by another company.

The existing system would need to be assessed first so Archer can establish its condition and whether it is appropriate to take on.

Do you install burglar alarms for homes as well?

Yes. Archer also installs intruder alarm systems for homes.
