We have been a customer of Active Security for over 10 years & have always enjoyed exceptional service from the original installation to upgrades to call outs when the alarm has tripped for some reason. Today Mark came in to perform a significant upgrade - he was courteous, knowledgeable, patient, answered all our questions & made sure we knew we how to use the new functions before he left. Thank you, again Active ... :-)

Active Electrical carried out a full wiring check for Elizabeth House day centre in Cookham. They offered us two options to work around our circumstances. The work was completed very quickly, they were tidy and efficient and when I realised that one of our heaters was not working they came back quickly and sorted out the problem. First class service and price!

Active Electrical did some work in our house recently. Their electrician, Ben did a very tidy job which we were extremely happy with. The service given from start to finish was very efficient. I would thoroughly recommend Active Electrical.
