Manned Guarding & Gatehouse
Uniformed static posts at gates, lobbies, perimeters and control points, with visitor screening, delivery logging and visitor pass management.

Manned guarding, electronic surveillance and control-room monitoring for corporate, industrial and residential estates.
A guard standing at a gate is only one part of security. Effective protection combines people, technology, procedure and supervision — and all four have to work together.
We deploy manned guarding, mobile patrol, CCTV and access control, alarm response and control-room monitoring as a single managed service. Officers are vetted, trained on your site-specific post orders, supervised on a scheduled inspection cycle, and backed by a documented incident and escalation regime.
For corporate and industrial clients we go further than foot patrols: we map your risk, specify the right technology, and report on what happened — in writing, with dates and times, every month.
We never deploy officers at a standard headcount. We assess the site, the threat profile, the access pattern and the escalation requirement first — then recommend the deployment that actually protects the asset, and quote it honestly.
Our security scope covers the full protection chain — from the risk assessment that defines the requirement, through deployment and training, to the reporting that proves the service was delivered.
Uniformed static posts at gates, lobbies, perimeters and control points, with visitor screening, delivery logging and visitor pass management.
Vehicle and foot patrols on scheduled and unscheduled routes, fence-line checks, opening and closing rounds and escalation on findings.
Design, installation and monitoring of analogue or IP camera systems with coverage planning, retention policy and health monitoring.
Card, tag, PIN and biometric access systems, intercoms, turnstiles and visitor management integrated with your HR or tenancy records.
Alarm monitoring, armed response coordination, emergency liaison with the police, fire and ambulance services, and post-incident reporting.
A staffed monitoring centre or central supervision desk with occurrence logs, daily shift reports, monthly performance reviews and an audit trail.
Security service quality is decided long before an incident. It is decided by who you hire, what you brief them on, and whether anyone checks they are doing it.
Identity verification, reference and background checks, physical and situational assessment, then induction training on your specific post orders.
Written, signed and issued post instructions for every position, reviewed on change and acknowledged by each officer on duty.
Field supervision officers carry out scheduled and unannounced inspections against a scored checklist, with findings logged and acted upon.
Daily shift reports, occurrence logs, monthly performance reporting and a quarterly service review with the client's management.
From the first walk-through to a monthly review meeting, every step is deliberate and documented.
A structured survey of the site covering access points, perimeter vulnerability, lighting, blind spots, existing systems and incident history.
A written assessment identifying the risks, the recommended control measures and the deployment levels required to meet them.
Detailed post schedule, shift pattern, technology specification, pricing and the supervision regime, agreed before mobilisation.
Officers sourced, vetted, trained and inducted against the agreed post orders.
Guards deployed, systems commissioned, key registers signed, and a joint walk-through confirming full operational readiness.
Scheduled performance reviews, incident analysis and deployment adjustments as the risk profile evolves.
| Model | Typical Use | Shift Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Static post | Gatehouse, lobby, control point, perimeter | 12-hour day or night shifts |
| Mobile patrol | Estate, compound, warehouse, open site | Scheduled rounds with timed checkpoints |
| Control room | Monitoring and dispatch, CCTV and alarm | 24/7 or 24/7 during operating hours |
| Armed response | High-value sites and industrial premises | On-call with defined response time |
| Escort service | Cash, goods and high-value movements | Per movement, by prior arrangement |
| Hybrid deployment | Corporate HQ with technical and manned layers | Integrated 24/7 coverage |
Shift patterns, response times and officer numbers are set against your own risk assessment rather than a standard rate card, and are documented in the post schedule before deployment.
Every officer is verified, referenced, assessed and trained before they are allowed on your site.
Daily logs, occurrence reports, inspection scores and monthly reviews — a complete audit trail.
Post levels sized against your actual risk, not a flat per-guard rate.
Written escalation matrices with defined authority and response times.
Corporate, industrial and residential sites each carry different risks, and the deployment model changes accordingly.
