🧰 How We Schedule and Book Your Maintenance Visits?

Getting the maintenance appointment booking right is paramount.

We like to make your maintenance and monitoring service as easy and predictable as possible. Here’s how our scheduling process works and what you can expect:


šŸ“… 1. Routine Maintenance Planning

  • At the start of every month, we generate all Preventative Maintenance (PPM) visits due for the following month.

  • Your maintenance is normally scheduled for the same time each year to keep your system compliant and reliable.

  • For Police-monitored systems, we carry out two visits per year (biannual maintenance).


šŸ“¬ 2. Booking Process

You’ll receive email invitations to confirm your appointment:

Timing

Type of Email

What It Means

Start of month

ā€œYour Service Booking – Proposed Dateā€

We propose a date and time slot.

Mid-month

ā€œReminder – Service Bookingā€

A follow-up reminder if we haven’t heard back.

End of month

ā€œService Deemed Completeā€

Sent if we haven’t been able to confirm a date this cycle.

šŸ’” Customers without email will receive printed letters by post.


šŸ•’ 3. Appointment Times

We offer two convenient time windows:

  • Morning: 8:30 am – 1:00 pm

  • Afternoon: 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Your engineer will confirm which slot applies.


āœ… 4. Confirmation

Once you confirm your proposed date:

  • Your appointment status changes to Scheduled (Confirmed).

  • You’ll receive an email confirmation for your records.

If the proposed time doesn’t suit you, simply reply to the email or contact service@wilsonalarms.co.uk and we’ll find an alternative.


šŸ”„ 5. Missed or Deferred Services

If you don’t confirm by month-end, the task will be marked as ā€œDeemed Completeā€ and rescheduled for the next cycle.
However, please note that delaying maintenance can increase the risk of undiagnosed faults or battery failure.


🧭 6. Efficient Route Planning

We schedule engineers by geographical clusters, ensuring the same engineer usually returns to your area at the same time each year. This keeps travel times low and your appointments more predictable.
