If your alarm, CCTV, or fire system develops a fault or shows a persistent warning, you may need a callout appointment.
Our goal is always the same — to get your system working again as quickly and safely as possible.
🧑🔧 1. Engineer Attendance
Our engineer will attend at the agreed time window (morning or afternoon).
They will arrive in a Wilson Alarms–branded vehicle, wear company uniform, and show photo ID.
Please ensure someone with system access (and alarm codes) is onsite to meet them.
🧰 2. Diagnostic Assessment
The engineer will inspect the fault and carry out tests to identify the cause.
This may include checking batteries, detectors, circuits, and communications (for monitored systems).
In most cases, we can repair the issue on the spot using stocked parts and tools.
⚙️ 3. Immediate Fix or Temporary Restoration
We always endeavour to fix the fault during the first visit.
However, if the problem requires specialist parts, additional labour, or a system upgrade, a full repair may not be possible immediately.
In such cases, the engineer will:
Make the system safe.
Leave it in the best working condition possible.
Record full diagnostic notes for follow-up.
🧾 4. Defect Quote (If Further Work Is Needed)
If the engineer cannot complete the repair during the visit, you’ll receive a fixed-price Remedial Works Quote (Defect Quote).
This outlines:
The parts and labour required
The total cost of the repair
The estimated completion time
Once approved, we’ll schedule a return visit to complete the job.
💳 5. Invoicing & Payment
You’ll be invoiced for the callout visit itself, even if further work is needed.
Any additional repairs will be quoted separately.
Payment terms are 7 days (Direct Debit customers – payment is collected automatically).
✅ Summary
At a callout appointment:
We diagnose the issue and fix it if possible on the spot.
If not, we’ll leave your system safe and issue a Defect Quote for follow-up work.
All findings and recommendations are logged for your records.
