Abel Alarm employs over 100 staff across thirteen branches nationwide and is NSI Accredited. The company provides intruder alarms, access control, CCTV systems, fire safety and alarms, alarm monitoring centre services, and safes.

It offers a nationwide service through its network of local branches. Abel Alarm has worked with leading national companies and thousands of businesses and homeowners. Its head office is located in Leicester, and it operates a Communication Monitoring Centre. Abel Alarm offers apprenticeships.

Fire protection and security system work in Leicester is carried out by engineers who, according to customer accounts, bring a consistently high standard to both routine servicing and more involved replacements. Several reviewers describe long-standing relationships with the firm, with named engineers such as Martin, Russell, Chris and George returning to the same sites over several years and becoming familiar faces.

Punctuality is a recurring theme, as is the care taken to explain what is being done and why, whether that involves detector replacements, additional system features or instruction on operating a fire panel correctly. Customers frequently note that engineers are polite, patient and tidy, completing installations and fault-finding efficiently and leaving premises neat. The depth of product knowledge shown by the team is highlighted, particularly when older sensors are swapped out or when problems need diagnosing on the spot.

Reviewers also value the willingness to train staff on site and to check that everything is working before departing. Emergency attendance is described as calm and effective, with one long-standing client noting that a sudden incident was handled without fuss. The result is a sense of reassurance that business premises remain properly protected, with the same engineers relied upon across multiple contracts and sites.
