Who installs burglar alarms in Leeds?Martin Day Electricians: wired systems, fitted by electricians
You get a visible, working wired alarm covering the property's real entry points, fitted into the electrics by a qualified electrician, with a written estimate before work starts.
The short answer
A wired burglar alarm, covering the control panel, door and window contacts, motion sensors and an external sounder, is typically fitted in a day by a NICEIC certified electrician, not an alarm-only fitter. You get a written estimate before work starts.

How do I know I need this?
An alarm that no longer arms reliably, or a property with no alarm at all, leaves you exposed to opportunistic break-ins. It can also mean falling short of what your insurer expects, which puts your cover at risk exactly when you need it.
You notice
- An alarm that no longer arms reliably
- A keypad that beeps errors or sits dead
- No alarm box on the house at all
- A sounder that has not worked in years
It's costing you
- An easy target for opportunistic break-ins
- Insurance cover at risk if your insurer expects an alarm
- Uneasy nights away wondering if the house is covered
And if you leave it
- A break-in that a visible system would have deterred
- A rejected claim exactly when you need the cover
- Paying twice: once for the damage, again for the alarm
How the job is done
The same sequence on every job, so you know what happens and when.
We plan around the real entry points
Doors, windows and the routes an intruder would actually use, not just the front door.
We agree the system and give you an estimate
Control panel, door and window contacts, motion sensors and external sounder, with a written estimate before work starts.
We wire it into the electrics
Every component is wired into the property's circuits: no batteries to remember, no wireless signal to drop out at the wrong moment.
We fit the sounder where it shows
The external siren goes where it will be seen and heard from the street or car park, making the property a harder target. Typically fitted in a day.
You send the details, we estimate, you decide.

What the installation involves
Martin Day Electricians supplies and installs wired burglar alarm systems for homes and small businesses across Leeds. A typical installation covers:
- Control panel and keypad - the heart of the system, wired into the property’s electrics.
- Door and window contacts - fitted to the property’s real entry points, not just the front door.
- Motion sensors - positioned to cover the rooms and routes an intruder would actually use.
- External sounder - a siren fitted where it will be seen and heard from the street or car park.
A visible, working system like this makes a property a harder target, and it often satisfies what an insurer asks for too.
Why a wired system rather than wireless?
A wired system connects every component to the property’s electrics. There are no batteries that need remembering and no wireless signal that can drop out at the wrong moment.
Because this is electrical work as well as security work, it is carried out by a qualified electrician rather than an alarm-only fitter. The wiring integrates safely with the rest of the property’s circuits instead of sitting alongside them as an afterthought.
Which parts of Leeds do we cover?
We fit burglar alarms across Leeds, including larger family homes in Roundhay and Adel, where bigger plots and driveways make visible security a bigger priority. We also cover terraced and period properties closer to the centre.
What does it cost?
We give you a written estimate after studying the photographs and information you send us. An estimate is our best assessment of the job. It is not a fixed price. If we find something that couldn’t be seen at the start, such as a hidden fault, we will tell you what we have found and what it means for the price before carrying on. For what drives the price across the rest of our work, see the Leeds electrician costs guide.
Why book Martin Day Electricians?
Burglar alarm wiring is routine work for the team, fitted by the same electricians who handle the rest of a property’s circuits, whether you’re asking about an alarm on its own or as part of a wider security package. To see what other customers say before booking, read our reviews.
What else is worth doing at the same time?
A burglar alarm is often fitted alongside other security and safety work:
- Security lighting - covers the property after dark and while you’re away, fitted as one exterior security job.
- Smoke alarm and fire safety installation - covers the smoke and CO alarms landlords must fit by law, and that new work such as a rewire or extension needs.
- General electrical maintenance - keeps existing alarms and lighting running and safe if the kit is already in place.
Get in touch for a written estimate, whatever you decide.
