My current premises has an ADT alarm and used to have a monitoring contract via digicom which has now been disconnected by the previous tennant. To renew the contract they want £310 plus VAT per year. I have found another company that will do it "starting from" £255 + VAT. Does anyone know any cheaper? I believe there's 2 door sensors and 2 IR sensors. There's also something on the ceiling that could be a smoke detector but not sure.

When I briefly looked into this, I was told that you had to register with the local police to get on their list for any callouts and there was a charge for that too. Also there was a limit to the number of times they could be called out (false alarms included) and you would get taken off the list or fined if they were called out too many times.

We found it cheaper to pay a slightly higher premium than to have to pay for all the added security measures - this is for our house though, not commercial premises.

I was advised against advising the insurancecompany that I have a monitored alarm (unless it was a conditionof the insurance in the first place) as they will then reduce/reject claims if the alarm was not armed at anytime.
