Static guarding provides a continuous security presence on site. Officers conduct regular foot patrols, inspect fence lines, and maintain a strict log of site activity in a physical, handwritten Daily Occurrence Book (DOB).
🚧 Gatehouse Security
Gatehouse officers act as your primary point of access control. Duties include rigorously logging all vehicles entering and exiting the site, checking delivery manifests, and ensuring complete physical accountability.
🔑 Access Control Management
We manage physical access points such as turnstiles and site entrances. Officers issue temporary passes, physically verify credentials, and ensure that only authorised personnel enter your premises.

Construction Gatehouse Project
A large construction project in Birmingham faced issues with unlogged deliveries and unauthorised vehicles blocking site entrances, causing delays and safety risks.
Eagle Security Protection deployed a dedicated Gatehouse Security officer. The officer implemented a strict vehicle booking system and enforced a "No ID, No Entry" policy at the main gate.
Traffic flow improved immediately. All site visitors were accurately logged, ensuring compliance with fire safety registers and preventing unauthorised access.

Straight Answers. No Jargon.
What are the duties of a static guard?
Static guarding duties typically include rigorous perimeter patrols, strict access control, securing gates and windows, and maintaining a physical log of site activity. Our SIA-licensed officers act as a highly visible, physical deterrent to out-of-hours theft and vandalism on your commercial property.
Are your guards SIA licensed?
Yes, without exception. All officers deployed by Eagle Security Protection hold a valid SIA licence. Furthermore, as an SIA Approved Contractor, we ensure every operative is comprehensively vetted to BS 7858 standards and trained to follow your site-specific Assignment Instructions.
Do you provide guards for night shifts only?
We are highly flexible. We can provide manned guarding for nights, weekends, bank holidays, or continuous 24/7 coverage depending entirely on your project requirements and local risk profile.
How much does manned guarding cost?
Our standard, transparent rate for frontline manned guarding in the West Midlands is strictly £15.00 per hour. To guarantee dedicated cover during high-risk, vacant periods, official bank holidays are charged at double time (£30.00 per hour).
Can guards perform gatehouse duties?
Yes, gatehouse security is a core pillar of our manned guarding service. Our operatives aggressively manage vehicle checks, verify delivery manifests, and maintain meticulous physical visitor logs to ensure total site accountability.
Do guards wear uniforms?
Yes. Visual deterrence is crucial. Officers wear professional, high-visibility security uniforms and appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) tailored for harsh construction or industrial environments.
How quickly can you supply a guard?
We excel in rapid mobilisation across the West Midlands. Whether you need emergency cover following a break-in or sickness replacement for an in-house guard, we aim to deploy licensed officers within hours.
Do you manage keys?
While static guards can manage keys during their active shift, we also provide a dedicated, BS 7984 compliant Key Holding service (£1.50/day). This ensures secure, out-of-hours emergency access without requiring a permanent static guard on site.
What happens if a guard is sick?
You will never be left unprotected. We operate a 24/7 control room and maintain a dedicated pool of standby support staff to provide immediate sickness cover, ensuring seamless continuity of service.
Can guards enforce Health & Safety rules?
Yes. Our officers enforce strict site access policies, such as verifying CSCS cards and ensuring mandatory PPE (helmets, hi-vis) is worn at the gate. They proactively report hazards, significantly mitigating your liability under the Corporate Manslaughter Act.
Do you provide welfare facilities?
The client is typically expected to provide access to basic welfare facilities (e.g., a cabin or toilet). If your site lacks these, please discuss it during the initial enquiry so we can arrange suitable standalone support.
Do you cover bank holidays?
Yes, we provide unwavering cover for all official bank holidays. Because commercial sites are often completely vacant and highly vulnerable during these periods, we ensure our most alert personnel are deployed.
Is there a minimum shift length?
To ensure operational viability and fair working conditions for our officers, we typically require a minimum shift length of 8 hours. However, we can discuss bespoke arrangements based on your specific needs.
Do you provide incident reports?
Yes. All incidents, patrols, and daily activities are meticulously recorded in a physical, ink-signed Daily Occurrence Book (DOB). We completely reject easily manipulated digital guard-tour apps to ensure you have a court-admissible audit trail.
Are you Constructionline approved?
Yes, we are fully accredited to supply the construction sector. We hold both Constructionline Gold and SafeContractor Gold accreditations, verifying our uncompromising compliance with UK industry standards.
