Director

I took over as director of the company in February 2007 from my father, it has been an incredible journey so far, and there have been many testing times and many great times.

Above all I have enjoyed meeting lots of new and interesting people, and have taken great pride in being able to provide a friendly and efficient service which also gives the customer peace of mind.

I hope with this great team I will be able to grow the company and continue to provide the professional service which has been enjoyed by our customers since 1984.

In Loving Memory of Terry Lane

Terry founded Secure Homes after dedicating 30 years of his life to a distinguished career as an electronics engineer with Thorn EMI. His vision for the company was rooted in the core principles of professionalism, fairness in costs, and reliability, values that continue to guide Secure Homes to this day.

Terry’s vast experience laid the foundation for the company’s ongoing success. He firmly believed that staying true to these principles was the key to growth and building trust with customers.

Terry wasn’t just a great engineer, he was also a man of warmth and character. Always ready with a story to share and never one to turn down a good cup of tea, he brought a personal touch to everything he did.

Terry’s legacy lives on in the work we do and the values we uphold. He remains an irreplaceable part of Secure Homes, and his impact continues to inspire us every day.

Moving home we were advised the installed alarm system did not work - we found out after a recent power cut it did...  We had no idea of codes or how it worked and had to remove the fuse to stop the alarm.  Explaining it all to Dale at Secure Homes he was more than understanding and resolved to fix the issue which he did; I might add at a very reasonable charge.  He was efficient and polite, asking our requirements and updating the system as he thought appropriate for two senior citizens. A pleasure to have someone in ones home who actually cares.  Well done!

We have had our alarm system for five years installed after a burglary. It is a very effective system and the team at Secure Homes provide an excellent annual service. We are reminded when the service is due and their time keeping is excellent, no hanging around waiting for them! This year Dale, undertook our service, he was polite, efficient and very knowledgeable. I recommend Secure Homes to anyone looking for security and peace of mind.

Since Secure Homes installed our alarm system in 2014, it has continued to operate efficiently with very few faults. In any event these faults are swiftly remedied by Mark or Dale after reporting and in a very timely fashion . Routine annual tests and as required battery changes are all carried out by mutual arrangement and at very reasonable cost. We are very happy with our continued service provided in a professional and friendly manner by Mark and Dale. We would not hesitate to highly recommend this company for your security needs.

I feel I was fortunate to find Secure Homes when I did a search online. I am always happy to support local services and I needed a new engineer as my previous one retired. Dale arrived on time and spent almost an hour on the service and left me a maintenance inspection sheet detailing what was done. I thought he was a very efficient and pleasant young man. I was happy that he was able to service an older system and charged what I thought was a very reasonable amount. Another firm had suggested I needed a new system altogether so was pleased when Dale was familiar with the Veritas system. I have recommended Secure Homes to my niece and daughter and would certainly recommend them to anyone needing a new engineer.

Secure Homes make the customer feel secure too. I received a call from the Engineer to alert me of their arrival in advance on the day. He was very polite and respectful of my home, doing everything possible to avoid the need for redecoration. He explained everything that he was undertaking in detail so that the best course of action was followed. The work was done proficiently and efficiently. Even a slight issue after the annual check visit was sorted within a week. It's very reassuring to know that my alarm system is annually serviced and monitored.
