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]. The review base is the thinnest in this round, and our view is that the SIA approval is the stronger half of this profile and the review base the thinner half.

The record shows a Hortonwood firm with a Shropshire base operating nationally, centred on guarding, patrols and monitored CCTV [1] [3]. SIA Approved Contractor status runs to early 2029 on the SIA register, with SafeContractor approval stated on the site beside it [4] [2]. Contact runs through a freephone number and contact form, with free system design advice on offer instead of published rates [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].

Questions about Clearview Security

Is Clearview Security any good?

On the evidence, yes for guarding and CCTV: it sits fourth in our Telford fire alarm installer table, holds SIA Approved Contractor status on the SIA register, and offers guarding, patrols and monitored CCTV [4] [1]. It offers no fire-alarm design or installation. Send your requirements for free system design advice.

Is Clearview Security SIA approved?

Yes: SIA Approved Contractor status is listed for Clearview Security Ltd on the SIA register, with approval running to January 2029, and SafeContractor approval is stated on the firm’s own site [4] [2]. Ask for the approval details and check them against the SIA register entry. Get the position confirmed in writing before work starts.

What does Clearview Security charge?

It publishes no rates or VAT position beyond free design advice and competitive-prices wording [1] [2]. That means your quote does the talking: describe the site and cover needed and ask for an itemised fixed quote. Confirm whether VAT sits on top before you agree anything.

Where does Clearview Security work?

The firm works from Hortonwood in Telford with a Shropshire base and operates nationally [1] [3]. It can be reached on a freephone number and contact form [1]. Send your postcode with the job details to confirm you are covered.

How is Clearview Security ranked?

It ranks fourth of the ten fire alarm installers in our September round, carried by its SIA approval, company record and stated cover against a thin review base. We looked first at what customers say. Read the full review, then ask for the itemised quote.

How do I get a quote from Clearview Security?

Call the freephone number or use the contact form with the site and the cover needed [1]. The firm offers free system design advice, so expect a surveyed design for guarding or CCTV before any price. Describe patrol hours, camera positions and monitoring needs together, then ask for the fixed quote itemised with VAT shown separately.

What do customers say about Clearview Security?

Google shows 4.0 from 6 reviews, seen in early September — the smallest review base in this round [6]. That signals limited public feedback rather than a poor record, and the SIA register entry is the firmer evidence here [4]. Read each review in full, since with this few, every one shapes the picture.

How does Clearview Security compare with the others in this round?

It sits fourth, the highest-placed firm with no fire offering, on the strength of its SIA approval and long company record. Archer, Premier and A B C around it all sell fitted fire systems it does not, while fellow security sellers Phoenix and SSAFE bring far deeper review bases. Our view is that Clearview is the guarding pick and a fire-alarm outsider.
