Trading as HAWK SECURITY ALARMS LTD · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire

Hawk Security Alarms in short

Hawk Security Alarms is a long-established family-run Telford firm fitting, repairing and servicing alarms and CCTV for homes and light commercial premises. Servicing plans covering parts, labour and batteries sit beside installs, and a round-the-clock emergency call-out backs them. In our judgement Hawk is the aftercare pick for anyone in the county with an existing system that needs keeping alive.

Customer reviews are flawless, with full marks on Google across a solid base. The limited company record dates back over a decade. What counts against Hawk is paperwork: no industry qualifications can be sourced and no insurance detail, call-out fee or rates are published.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Hawk suits you if you want a long-established Shropshire alarm firm for installation plus ongoing servicing, with a 24-hour call-out behind it [1]. What counts against it is the lack of sourced qualifications and the absence of published insurance details and prices [1]. The limited company record dates to 2015 [3].
