Ballpark for approved as mentioned.
Perfectly reasonable quotes.

Whatever!!

your reply was nothing more than mischieve.
Without seeing the property you can be accurate to the pound but for an approved installer (which we know you are not) you pass comment deliberately suggesting there will be such a price differential.

The OP should get 3 independent quotes. These will be based on a site visit, RA etc and definitely not on the say so of a stranger with absolutely no knowledge of the situation.

There is enough info there to make a quote...

external sounder
external dummy
control panel
2 x remote keypads
7 x pir sensors
2 x door sensors

What else would you need to know? What way the wind is blowing or the posters starsign?

The quotes he has are on the ball for an approved installation I have not suggested they aren't.

I know you could have a non approved system for the price I mentioned as since the approved installers are only quoting for a non monitored system we are talking a type B alarm which doesn't qualify for police response.

Are you saying its illegal or wrong to suggest alternatives?

You know exactly what i'm saying Mark.

It may well be the quote is for a monitored system, you really cannot say until the O/P comes back.

Your rather quick to mention legals - something you want to get off your chest hmmm?

The quote was for a non-monitored system.

I got 4 quotes in all - 3 which involved a site visit.
The one who quoted direct from the visio diagram I had was a comparable price, but I like to talk to the company in 'person' on site.
So I picked from the other 3.
My feeling is if they can't make the time to come to you to win your business, then putting something right (if needed) after work is complete is likely to be even harder!
