We have used CDS for all of our home security requirements for many years and have always been extremely satisfied with both the quality of the products installed and the excellence of the service provided. Their staff are always very helpful and courteous and their on site engineers really "know their stuff." I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for the peace of mind that a professional and reliable security company can provide.

CDS installed our alarm when we bought the house four years ago: the wiring had been installed by the previous owner, but nothing more; some firms wouldn't touch it and wanted to redo the whole lot, but CDS were great and agreed to do what we wanted and just install the sensors and alarm etc. We've had no problems at all, CDS comes out every year to do a maintenance check.
And during the pandemic they've been brilliant: this morning Jamie wore a mask, kept his distance, avoided touching anything he didn't need to, and asked us if we'd like to do the 'walk test' in front of each sensor to limit how far he needed to come into the house. First rate and highly recommended.

Have recently used CDS to install CCTV to my property. From the initial survey visit by Luke to the installation, CDS have been very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend them. They also maintain my house alarm on an annual basis too so are the go to people in Durham whenever I need additional security

CDS Fire and Security installed CCTV and Alarm systems in our home. The surveyor was so helpful and gave us great advice. The engineers took great care installing the systems and did a very neat job. The picture quality off the CCTV is excellent and the alarm system is really easy to use. I can't thank them enough and would definitely recommend them.

I recently had CDS Security and Fire upgrade my alarm system. This is the third installation by the company having dealt with them since the mid 1980s when they fitted an alarm in my previous house. The most recent visit was to upgrade the alarm that was installed by CDS Security and Fire when we first moved to our present home approximately 20 years ago.
Over the time we have been customers we have had yearly visits by service engineers who were always professional and courteous. I have no hesitation is recommending the services of this company.

Excellent, efficient and reliable. We had an issue with our alarm, not with the equipment itself, but our carpet fitter had accidently cut through a wire. We contacted CDS, they attended the same day and sorted the issue immediately. We experienced great service and respect from the initial phone call to report the problem, to the engineer attending and completing the job. I would recommend this Company with no hestitation what so ever.
