Lancashire's Trusted Fire & Security Experts
1st Choice Alarms Ltd has been protecting homes and businesses across Lancashire and the North West for years. We're more than an alarm company — we're a complete one-stop fire and security shop.
Our Story
Founded right here in Blackburn, 1st Choice Alarms Ltd was built on a simple principle: give customers the highest quality security systems and back them up with service that's second to none.
Today, we're proud to be a one-stop fire and security shop — from intruder alarms and CCTV to commercial fire alarm systems, access control, electrical contracting and fire risk assessments. Whatever your security and safety need, we cover it.
We serve an 80-mile radius of Blackburn, working with schools, businesses, industrial clients, retail outlets, and homeowners. Whether it's a single domestic alarm or a complex commercial fire system, we approach every job with the same expertise and care.
Our engineers are our biggest asset. NSi accredited, BAFE trained, and committed to getting the job done right — the first time.
