It's usually possible to sort yourself...Pretty much the same thing happened to me yesterday.
Download the engineer's manual for your alarm system (I found mine at www.dvisystems.co.uk/support_download.html). Try the default engineer's code. If that doesn't work, follow the instructions to reset the codes (mine involved cutting the power, removing the backup battery, then using a key combination on the panel when the power was restored).
Once you're in engineering mode, you can reconfigure the system never to 'phone home' to the alarm company and never to need an engineer reset again.
Once I had the instructions, the whole job took about 10 mins. I was quoted £185+VAT by the alarm company for the same job.
