  • SSAIB Information for Your Home

    by Richard Morgan March 08, 2023 2 min read

     

    Your home is your safe space—make sure it’s protected with a provider you can trust.

    At MES Systems, we understand that choosing the right security or fire protection system isn’t just about peace of mind—it’s about protecting what matters most. That’s why we’re proud to be an SSAIB-certified provider, ensuring that our services meet the highest levels of professionalism and safety.

    Why Choose an SSAIB-Certified Installer?

    The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB) only certifies companies that demonstrate exceptional competence in both business management and technical delivery. By selecting an SSAIB-certified provider like MES Systems, you’ll:

    • Ensure compliance with British and European standards
    • Meet or exceed insurer expectations
    • Have access to services like Police and Fire URNs for monitored systems
    • Gain peace of mind with expert design, installation, and ongoing maintenance

    What to Expect When Buying a Security System

    Using an SSAIB-certified company means receiving:

    • A written system specification
    • Clear ownership or leasing terms
    • Full repair, call-out, and maintenance details
    • A Certificate of Conformity confirming installation to all relevant standards
    • Professional installation with identity-verified engineers
    • Ongoing technical support

    Choosing the Right System for Your Home

    Your MES Systems engineer will carry out a tailored consultation to identify the best solution for your property. We offer:

    Bells-Only Alarms – Audible deterrent with no remote alerting
    Smart Security Systems – Controlled via mobile apps and linked to smart devices
    Monitored Alarms – 24/7 professional monitoring with Police/Fire response if required

    CCTV & Access Control at Home

    Looking for extra security? We also offer:

    CCTV systems to monitor your property in real-time from your smartphone
    Access control systems including smart locks, key fobs, gates, and more

    These systems not only enhance physical protection but also serve as powerful deterrents when integrated together.

    Protecting Your Home: Physical Security Still Matters

    Electronic security works best when paired with strong physical protection. Here are some SSAIB-approved tips:

    • Lock all windows and doors—even when you're at home
    • Install high-quality locks and use visible alarm boxes
    • Use motion-sensitive lighting and timers on internal devices
    • Trim shrubs and trees that could offer cover to intruders
    • Use wide-angle viewers or door chains to screen visitors

    Your Satisfaction is SSAIB’s Priority

    SSAIB’s remit as a Certification Body is to ensure that your interests are protected. This is achieved by allowing only those providers who meet their exacting standards of quality and performance to be certified by SSAIB.

    Only certified installers are allowed to use the SSAIB Certified Installer mark.

     

    However, if you are dissatisfied with the service you receive from a certificated company in terms of the system failing to comply with the agreed specification, with standards applicable to the system, or the work has not been carried out to an acceptable standard, SSAIB will investigate the complaint.

    If substantiated, SSAIB will require the installer to rectify the cause of the complaint. For more information on protecting your home or choosing a system for your home, visit the SSAIB website www.ssaib.org
