    Posted 30 October

    Trustworthy and Reliable Company

    From the initial enquiry I felt I could trust the company. The owner came out to quote and took time to ask me about what I wanted. No hard sales pitch at all. Felt assured I would get a professional job done.

    Excellent support from Holts

    The Engineer arrived on time, very quickly identified the problem and then resolved it. He explained clearly what he had done and the steps that I should follow if the problem reoccurred. Throughout his visit he was most helpful and patient. He was a real credit to Holts and I will have no hesitation in asking for their help again, should I need it.

    Emergency Alarms / Security Service

    Posted 13 June 2025

    Emergency lighting testing and alarm checks

    Nige was very friendly, helpful and professional. He arrived at the time booked and explained clearly what he was going to do. He thoroughly tested the Emergency Lighting and identified a fault which will be rectified the following week. I learnt alot about many aspects of fire safety from asking him questions which is so useful going forward. I was very pleased to get a Fire Safety Log book for our flats. I thought I would have to produce my own so that was fantastic. Very pleased with all aspects of the visit. Thank you Nige. I can thoroughly recommend Holt Alarms!
