Noisy alarms
If your intruder alarm sounds while you're away and is causing a problem for people living and working in the area, we sometimes have to force entry to silence the alarm - and the homeowner covers the cost.
By registering details with us, we can contact your key holder to disable your alarm, preventing the cost and inconvenience of formal action. To register for free please complete and return the 
alarm keyholder registration form.
Noise from commercial premises
If you are disturbed by noise from any commercial premises please call us on 01707 357 242 and explain how you are being disturbed.
We will visit the premises and assess the nature of the noise and its effects. If it is considered to cause a statutory nuisance we will require the premises to take action to prevent the noise disturbance. Such action may include maintenance, change of operation times or remedial works.
In some cases the business may take action and the noise still occurs. If the business has done all it can to remedy the situation this is known as taking all best practicable means and in this instance it will not be possible to take any further action to stop the noise.
