Why West Midlands Sites Are Targeted
Construction sites in the West Midlands—specifically in industrial hubs like Smethwick, West Bromwich, and Coventry—are currently facing a surge in "cut-and-run" thefts. Organized gangs are targeting:
Plant Machinery
Excavators and telehandlers are high-value targets for organized gangs.
Fuel Theft
Diesel theft from on-site bowsers causes significant operational delays.
Materials
Copper cabling and steel reinforcement are consistently targeted for scrap value.
Our Operational Promise
"You manage the build. We secure the site."
Complete Protection for Construction
An unmonitored site is an open invitation. We replace uncertainty with physical presence and evidence-grade surveillance.
Manned Guarding
Manned guarding provides a visible, on-site security presence to deter crime, control access, and manage incidents as they happen. Officers are deployed to protect people, property, and assets, while following site-specific instructions and reporting procedures. This service is suited to locations that require continuous supervision, reassurance, and direct human response.
⏱️ Access ControlMobile Patrol Services
Mobile patrol services provide scheduled or random security checks across one or multiple locations without the need for a full-time on-site guard. Patrol officers inspect premises, identify signs of damage or intrusion, and respond to issues quickly. This is a cost-effective option for sites that need regular oversight rather than constant manned presence.
👀 Visible DeterrenceCCTV & Technology-Led Security
CCTV and technology-led security uses monitored camera systems to detect, deter, and record security incidents. Monitoring can be carried out remotely, allowing incidents to be identified early and escalated appropriately. This service is often used alongside guarding or patrols to strengthen overall site security and provide evidential footage when required.
🎧 Active InterventionVacant Property & Asset Protection
Vacant property and asset protection secures empty buildings and unused sites against trespass, damage, and deterioration. Regular checks help identify risks such as forced entry, fire hazards, or water leaks before they escalate. This service supports property owners, managing agents, and landlords during vacancy or transition periods.

Preventing Fuel Theft in Solihull
Theft was eliminated within 24 hours.
The Issue: Diesel Theft
The Issue: A housing developer in Solihull was losing approximately 500 litres of red diesel per week to overnight theft, causing delays and fueling costs to skyrocket.
The Solution: Eagle Security deployed Static Guarding for the gatehouse (access control) and Mobile Patrols to sweep the perimeter fencing every 2 hours.
The Result: Theft was eliminated within 24 hours. The site passed all subsequent health and safety audits due to improved access logging.

Your Questions Answered
How fast can you deploy security to my site?
We deploy in 60 minutes. If you have had a break-in or your current security has let you down, we can have boots on the ground within the hour.
Are your guards SIA licensed?
Yes. Every officer we deploy holds a valid SIA license and has been vetted to BS 7858 standards.
Do your officers have CSCS cards for construction sites?
Our officers are trained in construction site safety and wear full PPE (boots, hi-vis, hard hats). Specific CSCS certification can be arranged upon request.
Can you secure a site with no electricity?
Yes. We offer battery-powered CCTV towers and physical Manned Guarding, neither of which requires mains power to operate effective security.
Do you provide your own welfare facilities?
For short-term emergency cover, our guards can operate from their patrol vehicles. For long-term projects, we ask clients to provide access to site welfare, though we can arrange portable cabins if needed.
What happens if a guard calls in sick?
We have a dedicated relief team. If a guard is unwell, a reserve officer is deployed immediately to ensure your site is never left unmanned.
Do you perform perimeter patrols or just stay in the gatehouse?
Unless you request otherwise, our "Manned Guarding" service includes regular internal and external patrols to check fencing, gates, and plant machinery.
Is there a minimum contract length?
No. We provide flexible "Emergency & Temporary Cover" for short-term needs, as well as long-term contracts for the duration of your build.
How do I know the guard is actually patrolling?
We use GPS tagging technology. You receive a digital report showing exactly when and where the officer patrolled on your site.
Can you handle "squatter" evictions or prevention?
We specialise in prevention through our "Vacant Property & Asset Protection" service. If squatters are already present, we can support bailiffs with site security once possession is regained.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends?
Our standard rate applies to nights and weekends. Bank Holidays are charged at double time (£30/hr for Manned Guarding).
Will you sign our RAMS (Risk Assessment Method Statement)?
Yes. We produce our own Assignment Instructions and Risk Assessments, but we are happy to sign and adhere to your site-specific RAMS.
Can you combine CCTV with Manned Guarding?
Yes. This is our "Integrated Security Solution." We often use guards for the day/active hours and CCTV monitoring for the night/quiet hours to save you money.
What areas of the West Midlands do you cover?
We cover the entire region, including Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Walsall, Solihull, and West Bromwich.
How do I pay?
We offer credit terms to established limited companies (subject to credit checks). For emergency short-notice cover, we may require an initial deposit.
