About us
Local, licensed and always answering
Every officer is SIA-licensed and vetted before they set foot on your site. You get one account manager, one number, and a report in your inbox each morning.
FAQs
Questions we get asked
If yours isn't here, call us — the phone is answered 24 hours a day.
How quickly can you put officers on site?
For most sites we can survey and start cover within 48 hours. If you've had a break-in or lost your existing provider overnight, call us — we hold reserve officers for emergency cover and can often be with you the same day.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on the hours, the number of officers and the risk at the site, so we quote after a free survey rather than guessing over the phone. You'll get a written rate per hour or per patrol with no hidden call-out charges.
Are your officers licensed and vetted?
Yes. Every officer holds a valid SIA licence for the role they're working, and we vet employment history before deployment. We'll send you licence numbers for the team on your contract if you want them for your own records.
Do you cover short notice, one-off and holiday cover?
We do. Single-night cover, a weekend shutdown, an event, or filling in while your in-house team is away — there's no minimum contract length.
What happens when an alarm goes off at 3am?
Our control room takes the activation, sends a keyholder to attend, checks the premises inside and out, and secures the site. You get a call if there's anything you need to act on, and a written report either way. Your staff stay in bed.
How do I know the patrols actually happened?
Officers scan checkpoints at every visit, so each patrol is time-stamped. You get a daily report showing arrival times, checkpoints covered and anything found on site, with photos where relevant.
Which areas do you cover?
London, Kent, Essex and Surrey for guarding and patrols. Keyholding and alarm response run from the same control room, so response times are quickest inside the M25.
I'm an SIA-licensed officer. Are you hiring?
