Trading as ARCHER SECURITY LTD · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Archer Security in short
Archer Security is a Telford installer of burglar alarms, CCTV, access control, electric gates and panic alarms, working across Shrewsbury and the surrounding county from Halesfield. SSAIB certification is stated on its website, insurance is stated, and quotes are free with a contact line answered round the clock. In our judgement Archer is the most complete domestic security outfit in this round, which is why it leads the table.
Customer reviews back that standing, with top marks on Google across a broad base of ratings. The firm also publishes weekday hours alongside its phone, email and contact form, so reaching it is straightforward. What counts against it is thin pricing detail: no call-out fee, hourly rate or VAT terms are published.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Archer suits you if you want an established Telford installer for alarms and CCTV with SSAIB certification stated on its site, published opening hours and a 24-hour contact number [1]. Google feedback stands at 4.9 from 52 reviews [2]. The gap is pricing detail, which the free quote has to fill [1].
