"Top service at a Fair price. I contacted Safenet Alarms having read the previous positive reviews. I had an alarm installed back in 2003 by a different company and it had developed a fault. Safenet diagnosed it within a couple of minutes of their arrival and repaired and Serviced the system for a very good price. They also sent me a copy of the User Manual that had not been supplied. I will definitely be using them again to service the system. Booking was easy and it was a fast and efficient service. Thank you."
