Clearview Security review

Ranked 4 of 10 in Fire alarm installers in Telford

Best for: guarded security and CCTV with SIA approval

Active

Trading as CLEARVIEW SECURITY LTD · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire

Clearview Security in short

Clearview Security is a Hortonwood security firm offering CCTV, alarms, guarding and patrols, holding SIA Approved Contractor status on the SIA register [1] [4]. Our view is that Clearview Security is the pick for guards, patrols and monitored CCTV from an approved contractor operating nationally from Telford.

Customer reviews are modest, with 4.0 on Google from 6 reviews — the headline figure on this review — and the company record shows more than a decade of trading [6] [5]. The site describes the firm as insured and offers free system design [2] [1].

What counts against it for this ranking is the absence of any fire-alarm offering and of published pricing, with only monitoring of third-party triggers on the fire side [1]. SafeContractor approval is stated on the site alongside the SIA listing [2] [4].
