We are local experts committed to protecting homes and businesses across Hamilton, Motherwell, Uddingston, Bothwell, and the wider Glasgow area. When you choose AR Systems, you are choosing a partner who values long-term safety over quick sales. Whether you are a homeowner looking to secure your family or a business owner protecting your assets, we deliver compliant, reliable systems designed to stand the test of time.

Who We Are

Your Local Security Partners

Founded on the principles of technical excellence and honest customer service, AR Systems Ltd was established to bridge the gap between expensive national providers and unqualified handymen. We are an engineer-led company, which means our business is driven by technical knowledge, not sales targets.

Operating throughout Lanarkshire and the West of Scotland, we have built a reputation for reliability in towns like Bothwell and Uddingston, where word-of-mouth recommendations drive our growth. We understand the specific security challenges faced by properties in our local area, from rural detached homes requiring perimeter protection to industrial units in Glasgow needing robust access control.

Our team consists of fully trained, vetted professionals who take pride in their craft. We don’t just “fit and forget.” We build relationships with our clients—ranging from domestic homeowners and private landlords to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—ensuring that as your security needs evolve, your system evolves with you.
