Hartech Alarms: security systems for businesses and homes in Glasgow

Hartech Alarms is a family-run fire and security company based in Glasgow, founded in 2016 by Stephen Hartie. The company designs, installs and maintains security systems for customers in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire and central Scotland, and presents itself as a fully accredited firm. Ian Williams, a manager involved with the project since day one, is part of the team alongside a staff of ten people.

The company works with small businesses and private homes as well as complex commercial installations that integrate numerous sensors and cameras. Its clients include commercial, industrial, educational, retail and hospitality environments — offices, warehouses, schools, shops, restaurants and licensed premises — as well as facilities management providers and building contractors. According to its own presentation, much of its activity comes through referrals and it has the trust of several of Scotland's leading building contractors.

Intruder alarm systems

Hartech Alarms designs commercial intruder alarms tailored to the size and needs of each business, seeking a balance between robust protection and practical use. Its systems include custom design, verification and police response, and 24-hour remote support. The company also offers to take over existing alarm maintenance contracts: it matches or improves the current contract by up to 20%, subject to inspection of the system and testing of the current agreement, with a free visit and no transfer fees.

CCTV video surveillance

The company installs high-performance CCTV systems for comprehensive property surveillance, with control from a single point. Its solutions are aimed at deterring theft, vandalism and unauthorised access, and include 24-hour professional monitoring, advanced video surveillance technology and network management. The company mentions the use of AI-driven CCTV, along with remote monitoring and real-time alerts.

Access control and fire detection

Access control systems allow precise management of who enters each facility and integrate with the existing security setup. The offering includes audio and video entry systems, access via card, key fob, tag or biometrics, and access logging for 30 days.

In the fire sector, Hartech Alarms designs customised detection and alarm solutions, with BAFE-approved systems and maintenance and monitoring options. The company stresses that these systems can be integrated with the rest of the security installation for joint control of the premises.

Maintenance, rates and coverage

The firm does not publish fixed prices on its website: each system is designed individually and it offers a free on-site survey to assess current or future security needs. For customers without a contract there is a fixed call-out rate, also on weekends and public holidays; customers with a contract have a reduced rate and priority service. The company offers several types of maintenance contract.

Hartech Alarms describes itself as a local firm with a level of service that, in its own presentation, is well above what you'll get from the big names in the sector. Its activity covers system design, installation, maintenance and emergency response, with solutions tailored to each project.
