Hawk Security Alarms in short

Hawk Security Alarms installs and maintains alarms and cameras for homes and light-commercial sites around Shropshire, and takes on systems fitted by others. Its standout is aftercare: servicing, a service plan with no-charge repairs and emergency call-out. Customer reviews read five out of five on Google, and the firm states decades in the security industry. A service plan with no-charge repairs sits on the services pages, alongside monthly payment options for households watching costs.

What counts against Hawk Security Alarms is the thin formal record: no accreditations stated anywhere on the site, with no insurance detail or rates either. Our view is that it suits anyone wanting alarms serviced with cameras added by the same firm. Monthly payment plans sit alongside the service plan for spreading costs.
