I'd go with a wired system mate.

So you don't rate the wireless stuff then mate ?

wired is cheaper to buy materials, but wireless is far quicker to install. i recommend the gardtech 600 panel with wired keypad and ext. siren. wireless detectors. some members swear by other makes.

cheers

Nope, not at all. As Tel said, they're a doddle to install but a wired system is just better all round.

gardtech is made by risco.co.uk . based in middleton, manchester. you would need to sign up for a trade account ( not necessarily credit) to get the trade prices. they only supply direct to installer, not through wholesalers.

I've installed a few visonic wireless alarms over the years
(don't do many tbh) but never had any problems at all
take about 3 hours to fit and batteries last roughly 3 year
you can go as deep as you want aswell but I just keep it simple
