New Home Installation
Having moved, this is the second time we’ve used Essential. From initial survey to installation, everyone I dealt with was polite and helpful. The men who actually did the installation were great - they even cleaned up after themselves!
The system itself is easy to use and can also be controlled with an app on your phone.
I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Highly recommended
Professional company to deal with and always available on the end of the phone if there are any issues.
Engineers are friendly and knowledgeable, we would highly recommend Essential Group.

Our engineer was great
Our engineer was great, efficient and most of all patient in explaining everything to us. He cleaned everything after completion of all work. Lovely guy.

Five Star Essential
Having used Essential in both personal and professional capacities over many years have always found them to be most reliable in terms of price, service and punctuality (professionally we went through several alarm companies before alighting upon Essential and once we did, we never changed and subsequently recommended them to several friends and family members, all of whom have been most pleased with them).
They started as a small company with a large customer service ethic, they are now a larger company with a large customer service ethic and wish them well with their continued growth.
