Sal*uk is right, when the police and the keyholder turn up, ask the keyholder in front of the police, why it goes off for such a long time, probably rats that set it off too. (2 legged or 4 legged variety lol)

Police - but not 999. They should have a keyholders list for the business.
EDIT : and alarms should only go off for 20 minutes max in most cases.

call the city council noise pollution team the cops will usually have the number if not call the cops and say you think some one has gained unlawfully entry to the builders merchants give address and tell them your being a good Samaritan

Call the police department's non-emergency number. They will find the owner. If the owner has too many false alarms, he will have to pay a fine.

ring the police and say you think there may be a burglary taking place,they will then contact whoever owns the place to come and shut the alarm off.

no u dont have to put up with it..
ring police and ask advice they may have a number for local noise authority (local council) who should attend , the company could be fined as maximum alarm sounding is 20 mins...
dont hesitate ring local police

if the alarm keeps going off and police aren't interested in dealing with it can you pop over there and get me some building materials to finish off my extension?

you should first contact the owner or the property. explain the problem.. if they don't want to comply.. call the local police.. in most cities, after police recieve so many false alarms they start charging the customer.. this usually solves the problem..

i would try local police and your local council.you could try a direct word and have a polite chat with the owner/manager and ask the to fix the problem...good luck.noisy neighbours are a pain in the butt!

call the cop,s they will cut it off and make the merchant fix it or go to court and tell the man why it was not fit
