Hawk Security Alarms in short
Hawk Security Alarms is a family-run Telford installer of alarms and CCTV for homes and light commercial premises across Shropshire. What sets Hawk apart in our review is long stated industry experience with service contracts, free no-obligation quotations and a round-the-clock emergency call-out. A live limited company sits behind the name, and the quotation route runs through its own website for every job.
Customer reviews are spotless, with a headline Google rating of five stars drawn from twenty reviews. What counts against it is thin paperwork: no named accreditations and no published prices or insurance detail. Our verdict is that it suits households wanting a local alarms firm on the end of the phone, today and in all the years ahead.
The record shows a family-run installer on Pasteur Drive in Telford, working homes and light commercial premises across the county. The pitch runs on long stated experience, service contracts and free quotations with a round-the-clock emergency line. Our reading is that the aftercare promise matters more here than any badge.
The customer evidence is a small bank of Google reviews, perfect across the board, which flatters without yet proving depth. No second platform sits in the file. Our take is that twenty perfect reviews read as a good start rather than a settled reputation, with the paperwork gaps noted alongside.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Hawk suits Telford households and small commercial premises that want an alarm or CCTV installer with long stated experience and a 24-hour call-out [1]. The Google record stands at 5.0 from 20 reviews [3]. What counts against it is thin paperwork: no named accreditations, prices or insurance details [1].

Questions about Hawk Security Alarms
Is Hawk Security Alarms any good?
On the evidence, yes for alarms and CCTV: it sits seventh in our Telford access control table, holds five stars on Google, and offers free quotations with a round-the-clock call-out. No accreditations are named, so read the full review. Ask for proof of cover with your quote. The full review sets the evidence beside the verdict so you can weigh it yourself.
Is Hawk Security Alarms registered with a trade scheme?
No accreditation is named on the website, and none can be sourced from the registers or the platforms checked. Ask whether the firm holds any scheme membership and for the insurance papers together. Confirm both in writing before work starts. The full position, with what each badge covers, sits in the qualifications section of the review.
How much does Hawk Security Alarms charge?
It publishes no hourly rate or VAT position, though the site offers a free no-obligation quotation. That means your quote does the talking: send the job list and ask for an itemised fixed quote. Confirm what the price covers before you agree anything. Only a written quote on your door list settles the figure.
Where does Hawk Security Alarms work?
The installer works across Shropshire from Telford, covering residential and light commercial alarms and CCTV. Send your postcode with the job list to confirm you are covered. Expect contact by phone, email or quotation route with your job list attached. Coverage shifts with workload, so confirmation in the reply matters more than any map.
How is Hawk Security Alarms ranked?
It ranks seventh of the ten access control installers in our September round, picked for family-run alarms with round-the-clock call-out. Read the full review alongside the company record. Then ask for the itemised quote with proof of cover before you sign. Positions move when new evidence lands, so read the round date beside the table.
How do I get a quote from Hawk Security Alarms?
Ring, email or use the quotation route with the job list and your postcode, and expect a free no-obligation figure in return. Ask for the service contract terms and the emergency call-out detail alongside the fitting price. A household with an ageing panel should ask whether repair or replacement is the honest answer.
What do customers say about Hawk Security Alarms?
Google shows a perfect headline rating across twenty reviews, a small and spotless file. That reads as a good start for a family firm rather than a settled reputation. Ask for local references with the quotation if you want more than the screen shows. The full review prints the file as it stands, small and spotless.
How does Hawk compare with the others?
It sits seventh as the family-run alarms pick. Archer and Phoenix above carry scheme memberships Hawk does not name, while Premier below trades alarms depth for multi-trade spread. The honest comparison is with Phoenix: local alarms cover, where the badge is the difference. The page sets both entries side by side so the badge question is clear.
