Registered or Not?


Recommended Posts

Hi All 

 

Could I gauge how many professional installers on here are either SSAIB or NSI registered and how many find they don't actually need the registration as they don't do much insurance or police response work.

 

If you aren't registered do you find it harder to find work and what is your niche market?

 

cheers

For me it's a small niche market of those who are happy that the minimum price for a decent quality intruder alarm in a 3 bed semi is circa £600ish. No SSAIB / NSI here.

Those customers do exist, just don't expect a flood of them.

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

Yeah some small business, sometimes it means I do the CCTV and Access whilst someone else does the approved intruder;

whilst usually this can be a bit undesirable, as they (approved intruder people) might try and steal the CCTV / Access back, the feedback I usually get is that the

alarm people are crap and lazy anyway plus unreliable and I'm great (but that still doesn't make it worthwhile getting approved).

 

A lot less callback / bother on CCTV and Access IMHO and esp. access a lot less muppets to quote against plus usually customer expectation it wont be £99.99 a door.

interesting, on a rough average how many doors per system do you do, I imagine you don't get large buildings. but then again I doubt people care about registration for access. 

 

do you work alone or do you have a crew?

 

I ask as it will be just be and the occasional extra guy. was thinking big installs could be farmed off to sparks and I just fit the important bits
