10 Burglar Alarm Servicing
Posted 3 days ago
Great company to do business with
We’ve had annAmbush security system in our home for over 5 years. They’re a great company to do business with. Their engineers are always punctual, knowledgeable and get the job done with minimum fuss. I’d highly recommend them and so pleased that we decided to go with this system many years ago.Verified reviewerJob location: TW1810 Burglar Alarm Servicing

Excellent Customer Service
I couldn’t recommend Ambush enough. I’ve been with them for years with no issues. This weekend the control box kept creating a warning bell every 15 minutes. We reported to ambush via the emergency number late Sunday afternoon. Within an hour an engineer arrived and solved the issue. Excellent customer service.Verified reviewerJob location: UB710 Burglar Alarm Servicing

Established and reliable alarm company
We have had our alarm with Ambush for many years. They are friendly and efficient and should there ever be a problem, which is very unusual, they sort it out quickly.Verified reviewerJob location: SW610 Burglar Alarm Servicing

An excellent company
We had our annual servicing of our security alarm system. We have been with Ambush for more than ten years and they have been consistently brilliant. William Franklin was the engineer who carried out our service. He was polite and knowledgeable and very thorough. We have no hesitation in recommending Ambush.Verified reviewerJob location: HA510 Alarms / Security

Great home security company
It's such a pleasure dealing with the team at Ambush Security: they make arranging the site visits so easy and the engineer who visits us (Jamie Chowings) is always so friendly and professional - it's great to have continuity of service (he's been looking after us for many years) but on the rare occasions he's been unavailable, his colleagues have always been equally good. I can't recommend them highly enough.Verified reviewerJob location: W4
