Old stone, new builds
Horwich has its stone terraces and older houses near the town centre, and a big new neighbourhood on the old Horwich Loco Works site. In older houses, a wireless alarm avoids chasing cables through stone walls; in new builds, we can often use the pre-wiring the developer left behind.
Homes near the moors and Lever Park often have long gardens and outbuildings. Garages, sheds and workshops can be covered by the main alarm or by cameras, so bikes and tools are protected as well as the house.

Reviews
What our customers say
235 reviews on Facebook, and 100% of them recommend Dean. Here are a few, word for word.
Horwich questions
All questionsCan my alarm cover my shed or workshop?
Often, yes. Wireless sensors can reach outbuildings close to the house, and a camera covering the shed door gives you a picture of anyone who goes near it. We check the distance and signal on site and tell you what will work reliably.
Do you give free quotes?
Yes. Quotations are free and there is no obligation. For a new alarm or CCTV system, Dean will usually come and look at the property first, so the price is based on your actual home and not a guess.
What is the 12 months’ call-out cover?
Every service comes with 12 months’ free call-out cover for faults. If your alarm develops a fault in the year after we service it, we come out without a call-out charge. Parts are not included, and we will always tell you what a part costs before fitting it.
Why does my house alarm keep going off for no reason?
The usual causes are a flat or failing backup battery, a sensor that is dusty, faulty or picking up pets, spiders or a heater, a door or window contact that has worked loose, or damp getting into the bell box. A tamper fault can also set it off. We test each part of the system to find the real cause, rather than just resetting it.
