Excellent Service

I asked Fortress to specify and install CCTV cameras at my home. The quote was provided promptly, the work undertaken quickly and the service has been outstanding. The engineer who led the work took time to explain what was planned, get my input where there were options (cabling routing, etc) and to explain what was involved. The work was conducted to a high quality and the team made sure to clean up after they had worked. I have been a Fortress customer for many years and can't recommend them highly enough.

Exceptional Service from Fortress…

Exceptional Service from Fortress Security – Highly Recommended!

After experiencing a disappointing letdown from another provider, we made the decision to transfer all our fire safety solutions to Fortress Security—and it was undoubtedly the right choice. Their service has been nothing short of outstanding!

Despite the challenges posed by our outdated fire alarm system, Fortress Security responded swiftly and professionally, ensuring minimal disruption. They have now provided us with a brand-new, bespoke multi-panel Honeywell Gent Vigilon Plus system, fully integrated with the latest Honeywell CLSS (Connected Life Safety Services)—the future of fire systems.

This level of commercial service is exactly what we expect and appreciate. The team’s expertise, efficiency, and commitment to excellence have been truly impressive. Thank you once again for your outstanding support!

Would highly recommend Fortress Security to any business looking for a reliable and forward-thinking fire safety partner.

B movie

It was a B movie, which you dont expect with Bruce Willis.
Even he had a very low performance. What a pity.
A really bad movie

Dear Holte,

We appreciate your feedback but it seems there might be a mix-up. We are Fortress Security Alarms Ltd, which specialises in security systems in Scotland and is not affiliated with any movies. Your review appears to be intended for a film featuring Bruce Willis. As it could significantly impact our Trustpilot rating, we kindly request you remove this review from our profile.

I appreciate your understanding.

Great service from a trustworthy company

Ordered a new alarm system to replace my old one that utilised the BT landline. Engineer arrived at stated time and all was commissioned within two hours. We were shown how to download the app and control the system by our phones. Unfortunately when I did a test later on I noticed the outside alarm wasn’t triggering. Called Fortress and they sent and engineer straight away to rectify. It was found that one of my old PIR’s wasn’t compatible with the new control panel. New one fitted and all now working perfectly.

Felt ripped off

This company has first class response time and very polite customer service staff and that’s what the three stars are for. However, word of warning, do not get caught the way I did with a huge £78 call-out charge to basically reset a code after I had to get a new internet as my old one had completely broken. I did not expect to get the work done for nothing , but a huge cost like this for approx 5 minutes work I feel is very unfair. I therefore strongly recommend before purchasing any alarm systems, you consider other options, as this in my opinion is a total rip off. Very very disappointed.

Dear Christine,

Thank you for your review. We're glad you appreciated the quick service provided in resetting your alarm system. Our call-out charge is a flat rate applied to all service visits, ensuring fairness and consistency. This fee reflects the expertise and professionalism of our engineers, who are trained to diagnose and resolve issues swiftly and effectively.

It seems there may be a misunderstanding regarding the value of efficient service. Our engineers' ability to promptly fix problems is a testament to their skill and training, which benefits our customers by minimising disruption and ensuring your security. Viewing this efficiency as less valuable overlooks the quality and reliability of the service provided.

We appreciate your feedback and will continue to strive for excellence in all our services.

Warmest Regards

Smoke alarms

Got Fortress to estimate for the fitting of smoke and heat alarms to meet current legislation. Got a good competitive price with expert advice on my requirements. The engineer arrived bang on time and worked quickly, tidily and discussed the operation and testing of the alarms. Satisfied with the quick service and cost.
