Commercial Intruder Alarm Installation
Every Chilman commercial intruder alarm installation starts with a free on-site survey of your Oxford premises. Our engineers assess entry points, stock value and any insurer requirements, then design a Grade 2 or Grade 3 commercial security alarm system to suit.
We work with leading UK manufacturers including Texecom, Pyronix and Honeywell, and we certify every install to EN 50131 with the documentation your insurer will ask for.
Intruder Alarm Police Monitoring
For Oxford businesses that need rapid response to a confirmed activation, we connect your commercial security alarm to a category II Alarm Receiving Centre operating 24 hours a day. Verified activations are escalated directly to Thames Valley Police under your Unique Reference Number (URN). Chilman applies for the URN on your behalf during commissioning, so your premises has a police monitoring service in place from the day your system goes live.
Maintenance and Systems Takeovers
EN 50131 and most UK commercial insurance policies require at least one annual service visit on every monitored commercial security alarm. Our maintenance contracts cover the annual service, battery replacement, fault rectification and 24/7 callout cover. We also take over existing intruder alarm systems for new tenants and operators moving away from a previous installer, with a free compliance audit at the point of handover.
Integrated Security Systems
Many of our Oxford clients run their intruder alarm as part of an integrated security platform, with commercial CCTV installation, commercial access control and commercial fire alarms all installed by one accredited contractor. The result is one user interface, one set of credentials, one service contract and one team accountable for the whole system.

Commercial Security Alarms in Oxford: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need NSI Gold accreditation from my Oxford alarm installer?
In practice, yes. Most UK commercial insurers will only underwrite premises where the intruder alarm has been installed and is maintained by an NSI Gold or SSAIB accredited contractor. Thames Valley Police also require accredited installation as a condition for issuing a URN for police monitored response. Chilman holds full NSI Gold and SSAIB accreditation for every commercial security alarm we install in Oxford.
What is a Thames Valley Police URN?
A Unique Reference Number (URN) is the registration Thames Valley Police use to authorise police response to a verified intruder alarm activation. To qualify, the alarm must be installed by an accredited contractor and monitored by a category II Alarm Receiving Centre. Chilman applies for the URN on your behalf during commissioning, and most Oxford applications are processed within 10 to 15 working days of installation.
How quickly can you install a commercial security alarm in Oxford?
From our Kidlington office we usually attend a free site survey in Oxford within 3 to 5 working days. For a standard small to medium commercial premises, a complete commercial security alarm install is generally finished within 1 to 3 weeks of order, depending on system size and equipment lead times. Expedited installation is available for urgent insurance situations.
Can you take over an existing commercial security alarm system?
Yes. We take over and maintain a lot of inherited commercial security alarms for new tenants, building purchasers and businesses changing supplier. Every takeover starts with a free compliance audit against current EN 50131 and your insurer requirements. Where the existing system is fit for purpose we move it onto our maintenance schedule. Where it is not, we quote a clear staged upgrade.
