Our Keyholding and Alarm Response Service in Birmingham

Birmingham mixes city-centre offices around Colmore Row, the workshops of the Jewellery Quarter, Digbeth's creative quarter and large industrial areas such as Tyseley, Aston and Witton. Our Solihull head office is just a few miles from the city centre. Locally we support sites where an alarm activation needs a trained person on site, not a phone call to a staff member, at offices in the business district, jewellery workshops, retail units and industrial premises in Tyseley and Aston.

Keyholding and alarm response in Birmingham means one partner holds your keys and answers your alarm. When your monitoring company calls us, an SIA-licensed response officer is dispatched to your premises, searches the building, liaises with police or fire services if needed, arranges emergency boarding if a door or window is broken and resets the system. Your staff stay at home and safe.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does keyholding and alarm response work in Birmingham?

Your alarm receiving centre is set up to call our 24/7 control centre. We dispatch an officer with your keys to your Birmingham premises, who inspects the site, deals with the cause of the activation, secures the building and files a written report.

Which areas of Birmingham do you cover?

We cover all of Birmingham, including the city centre, Edgbaston, Erdington, Sutton Coldfield, Selly Oak, Digbeth, Small Heath and Acocks Green. Send us your postcode and we will confirm cover.

What happens if the alarm was a false activation?

The officer still checks the whole site, inside and out, before resetting the system. If the cause looks like a fault, we note it in your report so you can get your alarm engineer to look at it.

Are your officers SIA-licensed?

Yes. Every officer we deploy holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to BS 7858.

Do you cover nights, weekends and bank holidays?

Yes. Our control centre runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Can I cover more than one site?

Yes. Sites in Birmingham and elsewhere in the UK can sit under one agreement with a single point of contact.

How much does keyholding and alarm response cost in Birmingham?

It depends on the number of sites, how many keys we hold and the level of response you need. Send us your details and we will give you a clear quote.
