What our customers say
Rated 4.9 from 123 Google reviews
Phil and his team completely replaced two entry keypads, and the telephone entry system with video screens inside seven apartments, taking only one day and doing an amazing job. Residents have all commented on the team's helpfulness and efficiency.
Karl and the team have been fantastic, they look after our whole site in Reading and nothing is too much trouble for them. Would highly recommend if you have any fire and security issues!
I've worked with Karl and his colleagues at Fortline for many years, both for my business and home security needs. They are always happy to help and offer expert advice, and it's clear that they genuinely care about what they do.
Our intruder alarm sounded… They were so helpful and reassuring and although they were at another property they arrived at our home promptly to detect the problem. They respect your property… and leave your home without any mess.
Philip responded very quickly to my request for a site visit to fix my house alarm and managed to book me in on the same day. He very quickly identified the issue and remedied the problem in under an hour.
Cannot fault these guys. Great with residents, clean and tidy, excellent work, prompt and understanding of needs/requirements. Full of knowledge and suggestions on how to overcome issues.
