Then seriously consider a wired alarm.
So what were you going to fill the hole again, and then drill a hole for the cables?
Bricks are not taken out to run cables, drill a 1"dia hole then 'fish' the wire through. just needs a little thought.
Don't fit wireless, just think of all that battery changing.
How do you think all alarm systems were fitted before the good old wireless came along and everyone then wanted no cables showing.
No cables showing, do you honestly think that it was not possible to do that from the start of the alarm industry, well it was if really required.
In the past I have run cables down cavities between many floors both in houses and offices. It takes a bit of fiddling but it's not impossible.
Get a cable into the airing cupboard and from there into the loft and then drill into the loft from outside and then run a long length of fencing or coathanger wire into the loft as a draw wire for the cable.
You said,
For once Bernard is completely right.
Did I actually write that?
That might make it a little easier for you.

why can’t anyone give a straight answer... Pyronix Enforcer or Texecom Premier Elite With Ricochet. Both are industry leading & you’ll get loads of support on here.
Wireless alarms are only reliable if fitted correctly and consideration taken for wireless range and potential interference, they don’t work everywhere whereas a hardwired system will, the systems mentioned above are hybrid so it gives you an option to cable as much as possible.

Thanks for the replies, Ive always wanted to get a wired one.
Its a two story out house, a joiner seems to think that if I drill a hole from the outside its going to hit the floor bored in the middle, but I always thought there would be a air gap?
