I have fitted quite a few alarms including wireless and have never really been happy with the wireless ones. The ones in B&Q will be at the bottom end of the market and I wouldn't be keen on fitting one to my house. Mine is wired and the only false alarms I have ever had haven't been false - dog left in the wrong room and garage door not fully closed type of thing.
You may pay a bit more for wired in installation costs but it's worth it. DOn't forget even with a wired you need to have the battery replaced every few years but they are not expensive. That's why you hear house alarms going off when we have a power cut, faulty battery in the panel or bell.
Haha bell, I am showing my age now
