Sarum Systems installs intruder alarms across Witham and the nearby villages, from new-build homes at Rectory Fields and The Mulberries to older houses near Chipping Hill and units on the Eastways and Freebournes estates. We fit Ajax as standard, a wireless, app-controlled alarm installed to BS EN 50131, and we take over systems other companies installed. The survey is free, you speak to the engineer who will fit it, and maintained systems get attendance within three hours if anything goes wrong.

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.
Witham is a commuter town. The station sits on the Great Eastern Main Line with trains to London Liverpool Street in around 45 minutes, plus the branch to Braintree, so a lot of homes are empty from early morning until the evening. That shapes what an alarm needs to do: tell you on your phone wherever you are, not just make noise on a quiet street. The housing splits three ways. New estates at Rectory Fields and The Mulberries, and further out at Roman Gardens in Kelvedon and Francis Gardens in Silver End, are mostly detached and semi-detached homes with garages and side gates. The 1960s and 1970s estates on the west and north sides are largely terraces and semis, often with rear access. Around Newland Street and Chipping Hill are older listed and period houses with outbuildings and yards behind. External fittings have to respect local rules, and we always work to the guidance published by Braintree District Council.
For a new-build, a Grade 2 Ajax system usually covers the front, back and garage doors with contacts, pet-tolerant motion detection on the ground floor and an external siren facing the street. It goes in with minimal drilling, so decorated walls are left alone and there is nothing for the builder to query under the warranty. App control means you can set the alarm from the platform at Witham station and get a push alert if anything triggers. On older terraces with rear access, we put more detection on the back of the house than the front. For period homes in the conservation areas we keep the siren discreet. Units on Eastways and Freebournes often need Grade 3 with shutter contacts and remote signalling, specified to your insurer's actual requirement.
Witham's new estates are spread around the edge of the town, with more going up in the villages between Witham and Braintree. 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.
