Straight Answers No Jargon
What are the duties of a static guard?
Static guarding duties typically include perimeter patrols, access control, securing gates and windows, and maintaining a log of site activity. Officers act as a visible deterrent to theft and vandalism.
Are your guards SIA licensed?
Yes. All officers deployed by Eagle Security Protection hold a valid SIA license. They are vetted and trained to follow specific Assignment Instructions.
Do you provide guards for night shifts only?
Yes. We can provide manned guarding for nights, weekends, bank holidays, or 24/7 coverage depending on your project requirements.
How much does manned guarding cost?
Our standard rate for manned guarding in the West Midlands is £15 per hour. Bank holidays are charged at £30 per hour.
Can guards perform gatehouse duties?
Yes. Gatehouse security is a core part of our manned guarding service. Officers manage vehicle checks, delivery logs, and visitor access.
Do guards wear uniforms?
Yes. Officers wear professional uniforms and appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) suitable for construction environments, ensuring high visibility.
How quickly can you supply a guard?
We offer immediate deployment capabilities. For emergency cover or sickness replacement, we aim to mobilise officers as quickly as possible.
Do you manage keys?
While static guards can manage keys during their shift, we also offer a specific Key Holding service (£1.50/day) for out-of-hours emergency access without a permanent guard on site.
Can you provide temporary cover if our systems fail?
Yes, we offer rapid emergency cover. If your gates break, cameras fail, or you suffer sudden staff sickness, we can dispatch static guards at short notice to secure the site.
Can guards enforce Health & Safety rules?
Officers can support Health & Safety by enforcing site access policies (e.g., checking for PPE/helmets at the gate) and reporting hazards, but they do not replace dedicated Health & Safety officers.
Do guards conduct fire watch and flood checks?
Yes, as part of their regular patrols, our officers conduct dedicated fire watch duties and check for environmental hazards like flooding or burst pipes to protect your site.
Do you provide vacant property checks?
Yes, we deploy mobile patrols to conduct regular vacant property checks, ensuring the site is secure against squatters and compliant with insurance requirements during project pauses.
Do guards monitor CCTV and who owns the recording?
Yes, if your site has a CCTV system, our static guards can monitor the live feeds from the gatehouse. However, all footage recording and ownership remains securely on your local NVR/DVR.
Does manned guarding help with site insurance and audits?
Absolutely. Having a visible, SIA-licensed guard on-site deters theft and vandalism, which satisfies strict insurance policy requirements and provides critical audit support for your risk management.
Are you Constructionline approved?
Yes. We hold Constructionline Gold and SafeContractor Gold accreditation, verifying our compliance with construction industry standards.
