Great Service from Samantha Middleton
We have received absolutely brilliant service from Samantha Middleton. With vulnerable and elderly parents who use Spy to protect their home, Samantha is the primary reason why we have continued with our maintenance service with this company. She is kind, responsive and cares about her customers needs and challenges. Thanks for looking after us Samantha. We appreciate you!

Helpful and willing to take action
The engineers who visited were good. They were helpful and worked in a very clean way. I subsequently had a small issue with the company's accounts department, but this was handled in a most professional way and to my total satisfaction. I was impressed with the speed that the company dealt with this issue once they became aware of what had happened. It was gratifying to receive very good service from the engineers who attended my home and subsequently from the firm's managerial team.

Dear Mr. Stoneham, Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Although a really disappointing read. I would like to sincerely apologise for any upset or undue stress & anxiety that this situation has caused you, please know this was never our intention.
I have reached out to you directly to explain how our invoicing process works. To clarify, our invoices are issued at the beginning of the new contract year and relate to the annual maintenance agreement, which includes the yearly service along with several additional benefits. Unless we receive notice of cancellation at least three months prior to the renewal date, the agreement automatically renews.
As mentioned in my email, if you could kindly forward any correspondence related to the call from our senior manager, I will look into this matter promptly to understand why the call you requested was not received.
Thank you again for your patience, and I truly appreciate the opportunity to resolve this.
Kindest Regards

I bought my house a new build from a Local Builder who had a reputation for quality and insisted that all the Houses installed Burglar systems from Seymour a local company in Sandgate who were absorbed into the Guardian group
My house got struck by lightning which did stop the system working. Guardian dispatched a Technician to do a survey who suggested that the way forward was Wi Fi which took start to finish in 3 Days. I have always had excellent Service from this Company and can recommend them with out reserve. Monica the Service Administrator is so helpful and well on top of her job Cannot ask for more

Flawed administrative processes
Something is badly wrong with this company's administration, specifically on dealing with queries. I have experienced this, on and off, since February in relation to a defective CCTV box which Spy's engineers proved unable to fix after several visits. Most recently, the engineer installed a new box and promised to send me a pdf of the user manual for it. Nothing came, so I emailed the Service desk to flag the issue, emphasising that I really did NOT want to have to chase them up about it. (That had been necessary several times before.) Result, total silence. One week later I send a chasing email, after which I do receive said pdf. No apology, no explanation, nothing. Spy's line management and Customer Services are well aware of my annoyance with them. But nothing changes.
AN UPDATE - Spy's Customer Services manager, Kelly, responded very positively to my critical comments and we have subsequently had a very useful telephone conversation. Kelly will use the "learnings" from my experience for training purposes and be my point of contact in case of any future difficulties. She clearly does take customer feedback very seriously and actually welcomes it.

Dear John Ellis, thank you for your review although a disappointing read. I acknowledge the concerns you have raised regarding the delays in communication from our service desk, and I completely understand your frustration.
While the replacement of your CCTV unit has been completed, it is clear that our follow-up particularly in providing documentation and responding to emails did not meet the level of efficiency we strive for. This has been noted and I will pass your feedback internally with the relevant teams & managers. I appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention and we will use it to inform ongoing process reviews.
I was unable to allocate your account, I would be really eager to discuss this with you over the phone & to offer you a solution moving forward to ensure your future questions, queries & concerns are answered in a timely manner.
If you wouldn't mind reaching out to me at b.debeer@spyalarms.co.uk that would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your time & I look forward to hearing from you.

Customer service personified
I had not been successful in getting a response from various departments at Spy Alarms regarding a potential system fault and to resolve an invoicing error. I got in touch with Becky and within a day she has corrected the invoice and arranged for an engineer to re-attend to investigate the fault at no extra cost. She took ownership straight away and could not have been any more helpful. I would definitely recommend getting in touch with Becky if you're experiencing any problems and need to escalate.

Dear John, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I am sorry to hear of your concerns. We do not generally provide details of individual cases on an online platform as we prefer to engage with our customers directly. I am aware my colleagues have spoken with you regarding this situation, I would like to assist you further if I may after reading through your original correspondence. I can confirm we are unable to change names on accounts without a new agreement being signed by a new customer, as the agreement is a contract between Spy and the named customer. I can confirm my colleague is in contact with the new owner and that she is assisting them as we assured you we would. I do hope this provides some reassurance. I have called and left a voice message for you this morning and followed up with an email. If you could kindly let me know a convenient time to call you back that would be much appreciated.

Terrible customer service
Our every interaction with Spy Alarms, with the exception of our one service in November (the engineer was great), has been time consuming and frustrating.
We were previously customers of Red Alert so were automatically transferred to Spy. Their first action was to more than double our annual maintenance fee. I did get them to finally agree to a fee in line with Red Alert’s pricing.
Their system books in maintenance visits without a courtesy call to confirm that the day and time are convenient. They then immediately issue an invoice before they’ve even confirmed the appointment, let alone had it. This is not a one off. It has happened every time.
They have chased me for an “unpaid” invoice for a maintenance visit that I had cancelled because we are not due our annual visit for another 6 months.

Dear CR, thank you for taking the time to bring these matters to our attention. It is really disappointing to hear that you have found interacting with us time consuming and frustrating. We aim to provide an excellent service to all of our customers, I would be keen to have a conversation with you to gather all the details so I can offer you my assistance.
In regards to the invoice, we invoice all of our customers 1 month prior to the contracts renewal date. The invoice covers all the benefits of having our annual maintenance agreement, included within the annual maintenance agreement is the annual service. The invoice is not solely for the annual service itself. I was unable to allocate your account using your name 'CR' would you be happy to contact me directly on 0203 833 0480 or alternatively please email me at b.debeer@spyalarms.co.uk.

Poor experience
I discontinued my service contract with Spy Alarms in March 2025, after being with them for around 8+ yrs. They were prompt in disconnecting but quite confusing in the explanation that they would continue charging me for the entire year, though I’d not receive their service. It is still not clear to me why they would charge me for a disconnected service. Upon seeing other people’s reviews, it looks like they charge a variable rate, if you are aware that you can negotiate them down. Great feeling for a loyal customer!
I intend to raise the issue with the consumer protection agency.

Dear Mr Khalid Qurashi, Whilst we generally refrain from discussing customer matters on public platforms, please note that we have made several efforts to address your concerns privately. In this case, there is a legally binding contract in place, which has been acted upon as we completed the annual service for you.
We have reached out to you in an effort to find a mutually agreeable resolution, but unfortunately, this has not been accepted so far. I understand that our Customer Service Manager has also contacted you via email earlier today, offering support and proposing a way forward.
