A maintenance contract with Wilson Alarms keeps your system working reliably and ensures you stay compliant with police, fire, and insurance requirements.

Think of a Wilson Alarms Maintenance Contract as being part of an exclusive club. As a member, you get priority access to our engineers, reduced callout rates, and the peace of mind that your system is always kept in top condition.


βœ… What’s Included

  • Scheduled Preventative Maintenance Visits – our engineers check your system at agreed intervals to make sure everything is working correctly.

  • System Testing & Inspection – including detectors, panels, and signalling equipment.

  • Report & Recommendations – after each visit, we provide a service record and highlight any required actions.

  • 24/7 Engineer Support – access to our emergency callout service at a discount rate, with priority response for contracted clients.


❌ What’s Not Included

Some items fall outside the standard contract and may be chargeable:

  • Consumables (e.g. batteries, fuses, bulbs).

  • Wireless Detector Batteries – replaced annually.

  • Control Panel Batteries – replaced every 2 years.

  • Repairs caused by damage (misuse, vandalism, flooding, fire, burglary, or third-party interference).

  • Non-Wilson parts or equipment added after installation.


πŸ”„ Service Frequency

  • Intruder Alarm Detectors – inspected every year.

  • Control Panels – inspected every 2 years.

  • Police-Monitored Systems – require two maintenance visits per year to stay compliant.

  • Fire Alarms – may require more frequent servicing (weekly, monthly, or quarterly) depending on system design and regulations.


πŸ“… Contract Duration

  • Runs for 12 months.

  • We send your renewal notice in month 11, giving you one month to decide whether to continue.

  • Once renewed, the contract runs for its full duration β€” we do not offer refunds if you choose to cancel part way through.


πŸ’‘ Why a Maintenance Contract Matters

  • Reduces false alarms and system failures.

  • Meets police, fire, and insurance requirements.

  • Ensures your system is always ready when you need it most.

  • Gives you priority access to Wilson Alarms engineers, day or night.
