Our planned closures and expected delays to shipping

With the Christmas and New Year holidays in mind, please take note of some changes to our normal hours of operation.

Our main office will be closed for Christmas holidays and New Year’s Day

  • Our main office (for orders and general customer service) will be closed on Monday 25th December and reopened on the 30th December. It’ll also be closed on Monday 1st January 2024 for the New Year holidays.
  • Completed orders placed between 25th and 30th December 2024 (inclusive) will be delivered between 30th and 30st December 2024, subject to delays felt by Royal Mail which are outside of our control.
  • Completed orders placed between 31st December and 2nd January 2024 (inclusive) will be delivered between 3rd January and 6th 2024.
  • Please note, this is a different office from where our careline monitoring team are based which remains in operation 24/7.

Our careline monitoring team remains 24/7

Our careline service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year round. This doesn’t change on holidays.

From here on, our main office returns to normal hours: 9 am to 5 pm Mon-Thurs, 9 am to 4.30 pm on Fridays, and closed on weekends.

Other delays out of our control

Royal Mail, our courier, tends to experience slight delays at this busy time of year. With that in mind, some customers may find that it could take an extra day or two for their order to arrive. We ask that customers factor this possibility in when ordering.

Deliveries to the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland can take up to 5 working days.


Getting help with your equipment

Our technical support team will be unavailable Monday 25th and will be back on the 30th December. It’ll also be unavailable on Monday 1st January 2024 for the New Year holidays.

Our technical support team opens back up on Tuesday 2nd January 2024 at 9 am and returns to normal operating hours.

Most technical issues have a simple fix which can be found in our user guides, linked below (you should also have a printed copy in the box your equipment came in).

If you’re not having any luck with the troubleshooting guides, please e-mail us at [email protected] and we will get back to you on our return to the office.

Emergency help

First and foremost, if you need emergency help you can still trigger your alarm any time, day or night, and our monitoring team will answer. This doesn’t change when we close our main office.
