Intruder & Burglar Alarms in Cornwall

A worthwhile investment for the protection of your business, home and family, studies reveal that you will be far less likely to experience a burglary at home if you have a correctly fitted and well maintained burglar alarm. Professionally installed burglar alarms act as a powerful deterrent while giving you peace of mind.

At Trelawney Fire & Security, our experienced team offers a free security risk assessment and provides a full specification before installation. As an SSAIB-approved firm, we are regularly audited for quality and assurance — giving you confidence that your system is fitted to the highest standards.

Why Choose an SSAIB-Approved Intruder Alarm Installer?

When selecting intruder alarm systems in Cornwall, choosing an SSAIB-accredited installer ensures reliability, compliance, and police recognition where applicable. SSAIB certification means your burglar alarm system is installed and maintained to rigorous industry standards, backed by an independent audit for quality assurance.

Which Burglar Alarm is right for You?

The primary purpose of burglar alarms is to provide a deterrent to potential criminals. However, the most suitable burglar alarm for your domestic or commercial property will depend on what you need it to do in the event it is called into action. You would expect the early detection of an intruder as standard but Trelawney Fire & Security has a range of alarms that can identify unauthorised access in different ways.

The variety of alarms and their fitting is a complex subject. As a starting point, the installation should meet with British Standard 4737/BS EN 50131. Though slightly more expensive than many DIY packages on the market, they are more reliable and conform to the Association of Chief Police Officers Intruder Alarm Policy. If you are thinking about the installation of an alarm system in your business or home, it is worth taking into account that the police response to alarm activations will vary according to the type of alarm installed.

Type A – Grade 2 & 3

Remote Signalling Alarms, including intruder alarms terminating at approved central monitoring stations, they must be maintained and used in accordance with British Standard 4737/BS EN 50131. These alarms will be registered with the police and identified by a unique reference number (URN). They can also include personal attack alarms.

Type B – Grade 1, 2 & 3

Audible Only and Hybrid Alarms, including bells-only and automatic dialling alarms to your mobile, key holder or email, these systems are for lower risk applications although they still provide a good level of security and a number of signalling options.
