Once again great service given by SSS. Technician Guy Martin who serviced my alarm system. Kept me up to date with his arrival. Courteous, friendly and took the time to show me correctly how to work the app for the alarm system. Even though the last technician showed me too. I'm rubbish at technology. Thank you Martin for that. Would 100% recommend this company.

Outstanding service from start to finish. Each employee I dealt with were so friendly, efficient and helpful. Communication was spot on throughout. The whole experience was so smooth. Shout out to our alarm installer who was even more than happy to help us after hours with the mobile app. Thank you SSS. Thoroughly recommend!

One of a kind! That sums up Davide very well. Professional, courteous, respectful and good fun! He's one to keep SSS. From meeting Matt initially, to the installation being completed, we have been delighted with the service from SSS. Amy's communication skills have been superb also. 10/10 SSS.

Updated. The alarm is still going strong and is / has been incredibly reliable. We've had it serviced each year along with other works like new security lights, cameras and upgraded PIRs. The team at Safe Simple Secure have proven to be knowledgeable, reliable and professional. Highly recommended. Matt of Safe Simple Secure provided us with a competitive quotation but it was the advice and service that really stood out. Matt listened to all of our needs and we now have a fully flexible alarm system installed that we are completely happy with. We'd have no hesitation in recommending Safe Simple Secure to keep your house safe and secure.

We recently had an alarm system fitted in our home by Safe Simple Secure. We needed one quite quickly and Matt came out the same day to give us a quote. He was very helpful and took plenty of time to give advice on what was the best system for our house. The alarm was fitted by David and Hamish who both did a great job and were also very helpful. The alarm system is excellent and very easy to use. Thanks to Matt and all the team for their help. We would definitely recommend Safe Simple Secure- they have a high review rating on google and in our opinion this is very well deserved.

Having used SSS for a number of years, we recently upgraded our home security system with them. Davide the engineer arrived promptly and was very professional and conscientious and on completion he took his time to explain the operation of the newly installed system.

This company was recommended to me and I can say that from the first meeting with Matt for expert advice and a quote to the instalation by Thomas who went the extra mile with a smile and also with great patience showed technophobes how to work the system to talking on the phone with Amy. They were all absolutely marvelous. I am very happy indeed and would recommend them. L. Forsyth Edinburgh.

I had a security camera installed outside my house. I'd really recommend safe simple secure. Very helpful and professional throughout from Matt coming out to inspect and going through all the options to Davide and Sean doing the installation. They were really friendly and accommodated requests wherever they could. Couldn't have asked for better service.

We got in touch with SSS to do a takeover on our alarm system along with some other bits & bobs. Amy was very responsive and helpful with her replies and managed to get us a short-notice appointment. The engineers were really helpful and knowledgeable during their visit and couldn't do enough to help. Great first impressions!

We went to SSS after getting fed up with appalling customer service from ADT. SSS were consistently helpful and courteous, and Sam installed new alarms and fire/smoke alarms. He took time to explain everything clearly and SSS have been helpful since installation. Would definitely recommend SSS

Excellent service from Safe Simple and Secure. Highly professional throughout from initial sales visit from Matt and follow on queries from Amy they were courteous, responsive and extremely helpful.

Everything went well from start to finish. Matt came out for the initial meeting and listened carefully to my CCTV requirements and how best we could achieve them. On the day of installation, Michael, Sam and Sean came bang on time and worked tirelessly for two days to install the system. They worked quietly, efficiently and with no fuss. I happen to be very finicky especially about cables and trunking and I was delighted with the ingenuity of the team to hide all the cables.
I'm not very IT literate but Michael put the app on my phone and laptop and explained in layman's terms how it all worked. We needed to make some minor adjustments to the cameras especially for night operation and Michael came back to sort that out shortly afterwards. Safe Simple Secure Ltd also have a first-rate office team who are very supportive to the customers and the engineers alike, and who are always there to answer any queries. I have no hesitation in recommending Safe Simple Secure Ltd to anyone who wants to install a good-quality CCTV system.

Professional and friendly service when we had a new entryphone system installed. Not an easy job as our block is 38 yrs old and Michael and Matt had to liaise with the company installing a new front door. Would definitely recommend SSS and it was reassuring to receive the quality of workmanship we did. Thanks! Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value Services Installation.
