SMP Security Solutions Ltd review

Assessed in Fire alarm installers in Telford

Unknown

Halesfield 24, Telford, Shropshire, TF7 4NZ · Service area: Telford

SMP Security Solutions Ltd in short

SMP Security Solutions is a Telford manufacturer of safes, vaults and security doors, based in the town since 1974 with a decade-long product warranty [1]. Our view is that SMP Security Solutions is a manufacturer to buy physical security from, not a firm to fit fire alarms.

Customer reviews are strong, with 4.6 on Google from 16 reviews — the headline figure on this review — and Made in Britain lists the firm as a member [5] [3].

What counts against it for this ranking is that it manufactures physical security products rather than installing fire alarms, and publishes no insurance or pricing [1] [2]. Industry qualifications as an installer can’t be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked [1].

Questions about SMP Security Solutions Ltd

Is SMP Security Solutions any good?

On the evidence, yes for safes and vaults: it is a Telford manufacturer based in the town since 1974 with a decade-long product warranty, holding 4.6 on Google from 16 reviews [1] [5]. It fits no fire alarms. Send your product requirements through the enquiry, quote or callback form.

Is SMP Security Solutions registered with a trade scheme?

No installer scheme is claimed on the firm’s site, and industry qualifications can’t be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked [1]. Made in Britain lists the firm as a member, which covers manufacture rather than installation [3]. Ask about product certification in writing before ordering.

What does SMP Security Solutions charge?

It publishes no prices; contact is quote-only through enquiry, quote and callback forms [1] [2]. That means your quote does the talking: describe the product and installation needs and ask for an itemised fixed quote. Confirm whether VAT sits on top before you agree anything.
