Most domestic CCTV disappoints for the same handful of reasons: a camera pointing at a dark corner, a recorder that stopped writing months ago, an alert that fires every time a cat walks past, or a system nobody knows how to check. The kit is rarely the problem. Placement, lighting, storage and setup are — and those are decisions made at installation.
We survey the property before fitting anything, identifying approach routes, blind spots and lighting conditions, then install cameras, alarms and smart monitoring so they record what you actually need to see. Settings are configured to reduce false alerts, storage is sized for a realistic retention period, and we show you how to review footage and check the system is live before we leave. Ongoing maintenance matters too: cameras need cleaning, firmware needs updating, and recordings need testing. If your existing system is failing, we can diagnose and repair it before recommending replacement.
What we cover
6 service areas under security & cctv, covering 122 specific jobs. Choose the one that matches your problem.
Burglar Alarms
Most burglar alarms fail on placement, not kit. Sensors aimed at radiators, pets or a hallway nobody crosses…

Electric Gates
Most electric gate faults start out of sight: water creeping into the motor housing, a chafed armoured cable…
Intercom & Door Entry
Door entry faults usually sit in the wiring or the handset, not the hardware. We trace the run between door…
Sensors & Detectors
Detectors are blamed for false alarms when positioning is the real fault. Draughts, low sun, radiators and…

Smart security disappoints quietly: hubs out of range, updates paused, automations nobody tested. We check…

How the price works
We charge a booking fee to hold your slot, then an hourly rate for the work itself. The fee changes with how soon you need us; the hourly rate changes with the slot you choose. You approve the price before we start, so there is no surprise on the invoice.

What our customers say about our Security & CCTV service
5 out of 5 from 7 reviews
Would use again
Third time we have used Maintenance Men, and the same experience each time: agreed price, proper explanation, job done in one visit. The hourly rate is fair for the standard of work.
Job: CCTV Installation
Second time we have used them
I had put off sorting this for months because I expected a runaround. Quoted the booking fee plus hourly rate upfront, stuck to it, and actually found the underlying cause rather than just clearing the symptom. Worked neatly and hoovered up afterwards.
Job: Backup Battery Fault
Exactly what was quoted
What I appreciated was being told what was actually wrong before anyone started. Sorted in under 56 minutes and the invoice matched the quote to the penny.
Job: Alarm Repair Service
Would use again
Really straightforward. It had been bothering us for weeks; diagnosed properly, fixed the same visit, and the price was exactly what was explained when booking. Can not fault it.
Job: Smart Alarm Integration Failure
Proper job, no upselling
I had put off sorting this for months because I expected a runaround. Quoted the booking fee plus hourly rate upfront, stuck to it, and actually found the underlying cause rather than just clearing the symptom. Worked neatly and hoovered up afterwards.
Job: Gas Leak Detector Fault
Honest about what was wrong
I had put off sorting this for months because I expected a runaround. Quoted the booking fee plus hourly rate upfront, stuck to it, and actually found the underlying cause rather than just clearing the symptom. Worked neatly and hoovered up afterwards.
Job: User Access Problems
