I have had my security system for quite a long time with this company, always had good service and advice from the office and technicians, Reece which was the last technicians that visited me went above and beyond to make sure my system was working correctly on the latest inspection, peace of mind and great to deal with.

Reece was very thorough

Reece was very thorough, efficient and noted faults that had developed which we weren’t aware of. He has a really nice manner with customers.

Punctual, professional and pleasant!

Our engineer (Reece) arrived on time for our yearly service. He carried out two additional modifications to our system without complaint or delay. He was clean cut, smart and had a very pleasant demeanour. Keep up the good work!!

Annual service by Luke

Luke did my annual service. He was on time, friendly, thorough and quick. Luke was especially helpful with advice about my old bell, setting out the issue and options for addressing it very clearly.

Terrible customer service.

Terrible customer service.
Have used Direct Security for over 10 years, but their customer service has got worse over the years. They cancel appointments at short notice, they overcharge (especially for replacing batteries), and their staff who do maintenance are very unprofessional.

Absolute disgrace

I work for a charity, we have been with this company for around 15 years, suddenly a call out went from £120 to £320. Call out charge was £90 (+vat), an hour labour £140 (+vat), and they charged £40 (+vat) for a £5 part. Labour in a previous invoice was £48. When I rang and asked about the increases all they said was prices had gone up. Also previous invoice had no vat which I don't understand. Even though we have paid a years maintenance we are leaving the company, an absolute disgrace.
