Alarm Installation in Rathmines, Built for Redbricks and Rentals
Rathmines is one of the busiest villages in Dublin. The clock tower on the town hall, the copper dome of Mary Immaculate Church, the Stella Cinema and the Swan Centre anchor a main street that is packed from morning until late. Behind it sit some of the finest Victorian redbrick roads in the city, alongside thousands of flats, converted houses and student lets.
That mix creates a particular set of security needs. Period homes with original features that cannot be chased or drilled. Rental properties where nobody wants a contract in their name. Front doors that open straight onto a footpath busy with people at all hours.
Sonic Security Systems installs alarms across Rathmines with one professional installations, paid once, with no monthly subscription and no contract. Our base is at 6 Fern Road, Sandyford Business Park, Dublin 18, around 20 minutes away.
Period homes, flats and busy streets need a smarter alarm
Older wired systems in Rathmines were often installed with cabling stapled along skirting boards or run through cornicing. Modern wireless systems avoid all of that. We can protect a four storey redbrick without touching a single original feature.
We also serve homeowners all over Dublin.
What Rathmines customers tell us:
"We do not want anyone drilling into the plasterwork."
"We rent the house out in flats and need something with no contract."
"The front door is right on the street and we want to know if anyone tries it."
"We paid monthly for years on a system that never did anything."

Professionally monitored alarms and Indoor CCTV Camera are popular with Rathmines residents.
A landlord with a house split into three flats on a road off Rathmines Road Upper wanted each flat secured individually without a contract. We fitted three wireless systems, gave each tenant app access, and the landlord can revoke and reissue access whenever tenants change.

Large Victorian and Edwardian houses need thoughtful design. We use wireless sensors placed to cover halls, return landings, reception rooms and rear extensions, with contacts on the front door and any basement or garden level entrances. Nothing is drilled into cornicing, ceiling roses or original plaster.
