Positive:Professionalism
Problem was fixed timely. I placed a negative comment before, but there seems to be a miscommunication which was immediately remedied. Thanks to Matt Thomson for replacing the faulty camera.

I had my Briar Security burglar alarm upgraded on 16 Dec 2020 by Simon. I was so pleased with job, that I felt he needed some acclaim. He did a really super job. We were in lockdown and he just got on with everything without any disturbance to our routine. We really didn't know he was there. He put in a new control unit and a new keypad, changed three PIRs, and installed a new bell box. Best of all, despite all the drilling and fitting of new boxes and units, there was no filling or repair work, or cleaning up to be done !!

We had new security system installed by Briars, who had looked after our old system, from start to finish very efficient. The engineer who installed was great, worked to install with minimum of fuss and explained the system and App in detail to our staff. Highly Recommended and have now booked them to install a new CCTV too. Leonard Brooks Paints Harlow

I have used this company for many years and have always found them very accommodating to my needs. Their Service Manager John and Senior Engineer Howard deserve special mention, for being exceptionally helpful. Whilst they may not be the cheapest, when you consider the longevity of support to systems they have installed, I have found them to be good value for money. I therefore thoroughly recommend Briar Security.
