FAQs
Do we really need security on our site?
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: also, yes.
Construction sites, empty buildings, and commercial properties are prime targets for theft, vandalism and “someone thought it was a good place for a midnight wander.” A visible security presence massively reduces problems before they start.
What security services do you actually provide?
Quite a few, actually.
We offer:
- Manned guarding
- Mobile patrols
- Key holding & alarm response
- CCTV installation and monitoring
- Maintenance and site support
In other words: if it helps protect your project, there’s a good chance we do it.
How quickly can you get security on my site?
Faster than most people expect.
We’re used to construction projects, urgent callouts, and last-minute changes. If your site suddenly needs security, we’ll move quickly to get things covered.

Are your guards properly licensed?
Yes, we don’t send anyone out who shouldn’t be there.
Our officers are fully trained and licensed, and we operate as an SIA Approved Contractor in key security sectors including Security Guarding and CCTV.

Do you only work with construction sites?
Not at all.
While construction is a big part of what we do, we also provide security for:
- corporate buildings
- public sector sites
- education facilities
- warehouses
- retail and commercial spaces
Basically, anywhere that values staying secure.
What happens if an alarm goes off and we are your Key Holding Client?
That’s where we earn our keep.
If your alarm activates, our 24/7 control room sends a trained mobile officer to investigate immediately. They’ll check the site, deal with the issue and report back so you don’t have to drive across town at 2am.

Can you work with our existing CCTV or security setup?
Usually, yes.
We can install new systems, upgrade existing ones, or integrate with what you already have. The goal is to make your security simpler and more effective, not rip everything out and start again.

Is security really necessary for a small site?
Small sites can be more vulnerable because they’re often less protected.
Plant theft, materials going missing and vandalism can cause serious delays and costs, so prevention is usually cheaper than fixing the damage later.
