Buying an established co?

Yes most people who we havent been recommended to, are looking for an NSI approved company

You may get more help if you explain what you are asking the questions for

I think we have a linage ad in YP most of our work from new customers comes from being a member of NSI

Nothing boils my pss more than engineers in the office, I wont have that, if there in the office they are not screwing stuff to walls which is what I am paying them for There is only one engineer I allow install electronic security in my house

But you wouldnt get a true result For example I havent had any domestic wireless installations in the last three or four months, but I still managed to keep 14 engineers and two subbies busy.

Hi Reggie It also depends on the size of the install, some installs take a month We try and get 100% maintenance, you have to have maintenance if you want monitoring with Police response

2013 this came out hasnt made a blind bit of difference theres always someone in the way http://metro.co.uk/2015/06/21/van-driver-handed-1000-fine-after-becoming-first-person-convicted-of-hogging-middle-lane-5256340/

Thats a better punchline

Hi and welcome We have a trade area full of nutcases with three nipples like you , if you would like to apply check out here http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/forum-trade-access.html

- I wasn't aware of that change, thanks for that Dick, although my comments on the Police not knowing the laws/ regulations was still valid as the conversation was about three years ago

I am not familiar with your panel so couldn't confirm if you can do that. But many panels on the market can be programmed that way so it is feasible

Its unfair for me to say anything to that Jan, that said I would treat anyone I terminated the same way, unless it was gross misconduct You cant tell me that you would let an employee that you have terminated work his notice? Your tighter than I thought!

Monitored alarms can be silent, but I think you may be getting confused with second alarm verification. This works as follows: Any detector activates alarm inc sounders (if permitted) it sends an non-confirmed intruder signal to the ARC, and the key-holder is called. Any second detector activates within a predefined period of time, the ARC is sent a second signal known as a confirmed intruder, the Arc will call the Police and advise the key-holder that the activation has been upgraded.

Lots of staff can be that bad, but if you terminate someone's employment its sensible for both parties not to give the employee an opportunity to pee in the fuel tank

I suppose it depends on the employee, I have let engineers go and paid their notice and I have let engineers work their notice. The last one was on garden leave and then paid notice on top, but I terminated his employment and I couldn't let him near any of my customers after that tbf

I see, that speed reading for you thanks Jan

They have to pay you your notice its the law

Hi and welcome. Why is my first question? surely the whole point of an audible alarm is to get the burglar out

You are getting paid, its summertime, go and sit on the beach for a few weeks (If you live near a beach) theres plenty I could find to do. I'm looking forward to my retirement

hi and welcome

Which bit is not gonna work?

Data Protection Act If the council asked if they could attach a sweeping machine to the back of your car would you say yes? We recently installed cameras to a council offices car park, and the chap working in one of the planning offices stopped our chaps from working because the council did not have planning permission for them.(Even though they were protecting his car amongst others) Most councils are hard work, not because they want to be, but because they are structured that way, they have to be sure that whatever is done doesn't cause anyone to complain, or fall off and hit someone on the head. They will only use contractors that pass certain criteria. On the plus side they generally don't about the cost of stuff, but they are never the fastest payers.

And you would be breaking the law to do so
