Security experts and recommendations - Tilehurst

[SGirl]

Hiya,

Finally it looks as though we'll be moving to Tilehurst before long. :yippee:

But before we do, I need to get someone in to have a look at the locks and alarms to make sure they're all up to standard, and I need an electrician to fit some new lights. Any recommendations?

And before anybody says it - I know Google is my friend, I was hoping for recommendations on the basis of first-hand experience.

Cheers!

Tilehurst? Oooh (sharp intake of breath...)

Yep. Decided Whitley Wood wasn't quite us.

Don't the local BiB do this? I'm sure most forces have a local beat officer who'll come round and point out if there are any vulnerabilities.

Don't know any sparkys in that area but I've found some reliable trades here -> http://www.littlegreenbook.co.uk/ if no one else has any recommendations.

Yes, the old 'Tilehurst Lighthouse'...

You're putting me off the place now.

Anyway, it can't be worse than the neighbours from Hell. If I ever hear Whitney Bloody Houston (as she's now known in our house) ever again, it'll be too soon. And as for "Oooooooh.... living on a prayer"! Well. I don't mind the song, but I do mind the neighbour bint bringing her mates round and having a loud singalong during the day while I'm trying to work to no doubt keep her in benefits. The day we move out, I'm going to have a Whitney Houston/Bon Jovi CD ritual bonfire. All donations of crap CDs most welcome.

So no, Tilehurst probably won't be worse. We might even like it. And if we don't, well - no problem. We're keeping this place so we could always move back in. Once every Whitney Bloody Houston CD in South Bucks has been smashed into little tiny pieces, burned, crushed and then burned some more. Just to make sure they can't reincarnate.

Thanks for all the help so far.

Whitley to Tilehurst is definitely a step up.
There are nice bits of Tilehurst, for a start - can't say the same about Whitley!!
