The Value of Static Security

Construction sites and industrial zones require active human supervision to manage high-value assets and strict safety regulations.

Your Questions Answered
Quick Answers: We deploy SIA-licensed guards immediately across the West Midlands. Manned guarding starts at £15.00/hr, and we deliver 100% physical reporting without relying on mobile apps.
How quickly can you deploy security guards to a West Midlands site?
Immediately. We specialise in rapid mobilisation across the West Midlands. Whether you have suffered a sudden hoarding breach or your regular guard has let you down, our SIA-licensed officers can be deployed to secure your site within hours.
Are your construction security officers SIA licensed?
Yes, without exception. Every operative we deploy holds a valid SIA (Security Industry Authority) licence and has undergone rigorous background vetting to BS 7858 standards before stepping onto your construction site.
What does your key holding and alarm response service involve?
We securely vault your keys to BS 7984 standards. If your alarm triggers at 3 AM, our mobile units deploy to intercept the threat. We reject digital reporting apps, leaving a 100% physical, handwritten attendance docket on your desk instead.
What specific actions are taken during an out-of-hours alarm response?
Our mobile units deploy immediately to the affected site, conduct thorough internal and external physical sweeps, secure the building, and investigate the cause of the trigger.
Can you provide short-notice temporary guarding?
Absolutely. We provide emergency, rapid-response cover to secure your premises if your internal staff are unavailable or a perimeter breach occurs.
Do you supply or lease the CCTV camera hardware?
No, we strictly do not sell, rent, or install any camera hardware. Our remote monitoring service connects exclusively to your existing, compatible NVR/DVR infrastructure.
Who is responsible for storing the recorded CCTV footage?
The client retains complete ownership and management of all data. We do not record, store, or archive any video files; all footage is maintained securely on your own on-site equipment.
Does your event-driven remote monitoring operate during the daytime?
Yes, our alert-driven control room is fully operational 24/7, reacting instantly to triggered motion events during both daytime and nighttime shifts.
What are your security rates for Bank Holidays?
Manned guarding on Bank Holidays is charged at double time, which equates to £30.00 per hour based on our standard operational rate. We ensure priority deployment during these highly vulnerable, vacant periods.
Can you manage vehicle access and deliveries at the gatehouse?
Yes. Our Gatehouse Security service includes booking in deliveries, checking manifests, and enforcing your site access policies (e.g., PPE checks).
Can your officers enforce site health and safety rules?
Yes. Our officers are briefed to enforce strict PPE rules at the gatehouse and conduct out-of-hours fire-watch duties. This proactive hazard reporting heavily mitigates your liability.
How do you verify that a physical patrol was successfully completed?
We utilise advanced digital logging software and checkpoint scanning technology to provide you with transparent, reliable proof of attendance for every visit.
Does hiring professional patrols assist with commercial insurance audits?
Yes, deploying SIA-licensed mobile patrols and maintaining documented digital property checks provides the robust, auditable evidence frequently required by strict commercial property insurance policies.
Can your team coordinate with local police during an intrusion?
Yes, if our control room or response officers verify an active threat, liaising with local police and emergency services is a standard component of our immediate escalation procedure.
What happens if a guard calls in sick?
We have a 24/7 control room and a pool of standby officers. If a guard is sick, we deploy a replacement immediately to ensure your site is never left unmanned.
Is there a minimum contract length for construction guarding?
We are flexible. We can cover short-term requirements (e.g., a single weekend coverage for a crane on site) or long-term projects lasting years.
