Archer Security review

Ranked 1 of 10 in Fire alarm installers in Telford

Best overall fire alarm installer in Telford: complete commercial fire-alarm cover with stated SSAIB certification

Active

Trading as ARCHER SECURITY LTD · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Archer Security in short

Archer Security is a Halesfield security firm whose fire-alarm page covers commercial design, installation, testing, maintenance and round-the-clock monitoring across Telford and Shrewsbury [2]. That dedicated page is what sets Archer Security apart in this round: most rivals sell security first and fire second. Our verdict is that it is the strongest commercial fire-alarm pick in the table.

Customer reviews back the position, with a 4.9 Google rating from 52 reviews — the headline figure on this review — and SSAIB certification stated on the firm’s own site, which also says the firm is insured [5] [1]. A round-the-clock phone line sits alongside email and a contact form [3].

The company record runs back to 2018, which supports the trading-history score [4]. What counts against Archer Security is thin pricing detail and a commercial-only framing, so domestic buyers will find less here for them [3] [2].
