Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that you feel this was your experience.

Our records indicate that we have not heard from you since 2025 and at that time we believed the matter had been resolved. We understand there was an issue with not having your updated email address on file which may have impacted communication regarding your annual maintenance reminders. That certainly was not our intention.

We strive to be transparent about all costs and services and we regret if anything was unclear. We would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to review your account with you and address any remaining concerns.

Please feel free to contact our office directly so we can look into this further and work toward a resolution. We value our customers and would welcome the chance to make this right.

Highly Recommended

Since Safe Simple Secure fitted our alarm it’s been completely reliable and dependable. We were impressed by the professionalism of the team along with their knowledge and experience. Each year we’ve had them service the alarm system along with several upgrades to cameras, lights and PIRs. We love that we can use an app to control the alarm. Appointments are attended on time and the works are fully described before starting. If only more companies did the same.

Smoke & Heat Alarms - Edinburgh

New heat and smoke alarms installed within 2 days of enquiring. Very helpful, friendly and responsive service from Amy in the office and Martin who installed the alarms. Easy to pay on line with a payment button on the invoice.

Had an alarm installed by them in 2019

Had an alarm installed by them in 2019. Had to change a battery in a sensor last year, which apparently requires an engineer reset. Called them to arrange a reset, a helpful gentleman called back with the code so I could do it myself. Fast forward to now, same situation, called for the code as I hadn't written it down last year, only to be told I would have to sign up to a maintenance contract if I wanted it reset, effectively bricking my alarm system unless I pay them. No mention of any of this when I had the alarm installed. Scam company that should be avoided at all costs.

Excellent company!

Everything from start to finish with SSS was excellent. Can't fault them at all. Michael and Stewart did a brilliant job installing a new buzzer system into our block of flats, we didn't have one before so it was a completely new install. Would recommend Safe simple secure to anyone!

Excellent service from SSS

I have used Safe Simple Secure for a number of years now and recently added another camera to my system. Michael Easter carried out another fuss-free installation, listening to what I wanted from the system and making adjustments to meet my requirements. Michael and others in SSS have always carried out any work in a friendly, professional manner, while being neat and tidy too. Highly recommended for any security needs.

How it should be done.

Tommy Fraser was the installer who arrived at my company premises to carry out the CCTV and alarm installation.
Like the title states, he carried out the work in a very professional and knowledgeable manner. Best camera layout and set up of the system was planned in minutes and then installed before I knew it.
There was no changing of installation dates or times, he arrived when he said he would and did exactly what I was looking for.
Even down to the software configuration, thanks to Tommy, I’m now in a position where I understand the system and can adapt it to any changes I make to the premises.

Tommy Fraser (Simple Safe Secure) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tommy Fraser (Simple Safe Secure) has now done work for us at three consecutive properties we’ve lived in. Tommy as installed alarms, internal and external cameras, hard drive and TV security monitoring stations, security access doors with key pads and has also helped with internal networking cables. Tommy is thoroughly professional, really communicative and shows up when he says he will. Friends now using Tommy repeatedly also. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great service

Absolutely fantastic service, from the moment I met Tommy Fraser I knew I was in safe hands. He explained what was required, how he would complete the work and the estimated time it would take. He completed the job within time and to a very high standard, cleaning any mess as he went. I would definitely recommend Safe Simple Secure for any alarm work and hope that you get Tommy as your engineer.

SSS security system installation.

Tommy Fraser was excellent. His fitment of the Simple Safe Secure (SSS) security system was excellent with no mess. Also, his explanation of the systems usage was very clear and straightforward. Would recommend him and SSS to any potential customers.

5* Due Diligence in Paramount!

I never really make effort with reviews, but in the interests of assisting future potential customers who are assiduously exercising their due diligence on which CCTV/alarm systems provider to use and trust, then I offer you the following:

In my capacity as a security consultant for over 20 years, I have never met such an adept, pleasant, positive and helpful technician as Tommy Fraser of SSS.

It is evident from the start that Tommy Fraser has unparalleled knowledge and experience in this field; accumulated over a career spanning well over a decade.

Impressively passionate about his work; giving current ground truth and honest advice on the very latest hardware and software available to meet any clients needs.

I would urge any person who is serious about installing a fit for purpose technical security system to literally hunt down wherever Tommy is and request he be the one to install your kit.

I say to SSS, you have an absolute asset in Tommy having him work for your company. Hold on to him.

Tommy is a humble man and never asked me to write this. So, please in future, if anyone acts on my advice and requests Tommy, please leave him a personal review, as I have. As businesses are all about reviews such as this. And make a little effort, again as I have, when writing a review as it counts more.

Lastly, Tommy usually has an apprentice and you can rest assured this apprentice is in good hands with Tommy and that Tommy vigilantly supervises at all times.

Good luck in your career and thank you Tommy Fraser and SSS

3 security doors with intercom

They fitted 3 security doors with fob access and a wireless intercom in our residential building, and it all works perfectly.
Really impressed with the service provided, they went the extra mile to program fobs and show us how to program the units so we can manage it ourselves. Highly recommended.

Brilliant Experience - Top Review!

Quick and thorough from admin, excellent and transparent costs from sales team, patient and efficient install team. It was an excellent experience from start to finish and it feels like nothing is too much hassle for them to resolve. Definitely recommend SSSL.
