Sarum Systems fits intruder alarms across Maldon, Heybridge and Heybridge Basin, for period houses off the High Street, waterside cottages, new homes and the commercial units on the Heybridge estates. Ajax wireless is our standard, installed to BS EN 50131 and run from an app, so you can see who set and unset it and get an alert the moment a detector trips. We also take over alarms other companies installed. Free survey, an engineer who knows the town, and a three hour response commitment on maintained systems.

Wired & wireless intruder alarms, monitored and app-connected, fitted to BS EN 50131.
Keypad, fob and door-entry systems that control exactly who goes where.
Fire detection and alarm systems designed, installed and serviced to BS 5839.
Maldon has had no railway station since the Witham branch closed to passengers in 1964, so most working households drive out each morning towards Chelmsford, Witham or further, and plenty of streets sit empty all day. That shapes the alarm decision more than the house type does. In the old town, period terraces and cottages often have rear yards reached from back lanes, so the risk comes from behind rather than the street. Cottages around Heybridge Basin and homes near the waterfront tend to have sheds, workshops and boat stores that need their own detection. On the newer estates at Handley Gardens and Westcombe Park, the bell box the developer fitted is sometimes there for show or was never commissioned. Commercial units on The Causeway and Holloway Road need zoning that suits shift patterns and shared yards, so one tenant working late does not affect the next. External fittings have to respect local rules, and we always work to the guidance published by Maldon District Council.
For period homes in the conservation area, wireless Ajax devices mean no chasing cables into old plaster or lifting floorboards, and the siren goes on a rear or side wall rather than the front elevation. For waterside properties, we protect outbuildings and boat stores as separate zones on the same panel, so you can arm the workshop at night while you are still in the house. Damp and salt take a toll on external sirens and door contacts here, so we check them properly on every service. On new builds, we either commission what the developer left or replace it, and grade the system to what your insurer actually asks for, which for most homes is Grade 2. Landlords with lets in Maldon get user codes per tenant, so a change of tenancy does not mean a change of hardware.
New homes around Maldon are going up on the edge of the town and across at Heybridge. Plenty of new homes are handed over with no alarm, or a bell box with nothing behind it. We fit Ajax wireless, so nothing gets chased into new plaster and it all runs from your phone.
