workshop wireless burglar alarm

My current workshop is attached to my single storie house which I have become aware of being a fire hazard, so I'm building a new one attached to the garage - not quite so critical if that goes on fire !!

The downside is that this being closer to the lane is a little more likely to get broken into. I'm looking for a single channel alarm that will transmit 30m to the house. I've found something on google but it's several channels and is ~=A3100. OK this is cheap as far as the lost tools would cost, but has anyone come across anything that is simple and less expensive.

TIA Rob

"Workshop" implies power, if only for light, so no doubt you will be diging a trench for that. Just bung in another duct for LV stuff and run a few CAT5 cables through it for network, alarm and phone use.

Pretty sure Maplin have simple alarm module kits.

New workshop attached to already powered garage. It's just a case of adding a couple of new MCB's to the existing CU, complete with RCD and seperate TT earth, in case anyone picks me up on that !!!
