Security planning for commercial sites

Describe the premises, access arrangements and assets requiring protection. We can discuss how physical guarding, patrols and existing security measures fit the site requirements.

Identify the responsibilities of the client, guarding provider and any specialist system contractor before work begins.

Discuss your security requirements.

Static security guards and manned guarding

Static guards can support agreed gatehouse, access-control, patrol and reporting duties at commercial premises, construction sites and industrial compounds.

For warehouses, logistics yards and industrial premises, see our warehouse and industrial security guarding guidance.

Specify shift hours, visitor and delivery activity, welfare facilities and escalation contacts. Request relevant individual licensing, vetting and insurance evidence for the proposed assignment.

Explore static security guards and manned guarding.

K9 security guards and dog handlers

A K9 security team pairs a handler with a security dog for agreed patrol duties and visible deterrence. Suitable assignments can include construction compounds, vacant commercial properties, warehouses and industrial yards.

Patrol routes, contact with workers, safe access and dog welfare need to be planned for the particular site. Request the handler qualification and dog training records relevant to the proposed duties; specialist detection work requires separate confirmation.

Explore security dog handler services or K9 security in London.

Mobile security patrols and out-of-hours checks

Mobile patrols provide visits at agreed times, with checks and reporting defined for the premises. A periodic visit does not provide the continuous presence of an on-site guard.

Discuss the visit frequency, access instructions, areas to check and response arrangements. Coverage, reporting tools and attendance expectations are confirmed for the assignment.

Explore mobile patrols in London or compare static guarding.

Event security enquiries

Existing event-security enquiries are assessed against the venue, duties, dates and available personnel. Describe access control, stewarding, public contact and any specific qualification requirements.

Confirm the proposed team, relevant licensing, insurance and event instructions before cover is booked.

Read about London event-security requirements.

Retail security enquiries

Describe customer-facing duties, opening hours, delivery access and any reporting or loss-prevention requirements. Appropriate personnel and duties must be confirmed for the store.

Where CCTV operation is included, specify the role, required permissions and relevant licensing or training checks.

Keyholding and alarm response arrangements

Keyholding enquiries need clear custody, authorised-access and response procedures. Provide the site location, alarm contacts, access restrictions and required lock-up or opening duties.

Attendance depends on location, conditions and available personnel. Agree any response expectations and check the applicable insurance terms before confirming cover.

Explore keyholding arrangements in London.

Vacant property and empty building protection

Empty buildings, warehouses and redevelopment sites can require K9 patrols, static guarding or scheduled checks. The arrangement depends on safe access, authorised visits, site risks and the hours needing protection.

Share any written insurer requirements and agree inspection records, incident contacts and responsibilities for repairs. Security attendance does not replace a structural or fire-safety inspection.

Supporting protection and specialist enquiries

CCTV supporting a guarding plan

Discuss camera coverage, recording access and installer responsibilities where CCTV supports physical guarding. Confirm the equipment, installation scope and monitoring arrangements for the particular site.

Read the existing London service information or include this requirement in your enquiry.

Video monitoring arrangements

Agree who monitors the system, at which times and how alerts reach the guarding team or nominated contacts. Continuous recording and actively monitored coverage are different services.

Read the existing London service information or include this requirement in your enquiry.

Temporary CCTV towers

Discuss temporary surveillance requirements alongside K9 or static cover. Equipment, power, connectivity, installation and monitoring depend on the proposed site and package.

Read the existing London service information or include this requirement in your enquiry.

Alarm systems supporting site security

Describe any intruder-alarm requirements and how activations should be communicated. Fire-system work requires its own qualified technical assessment and agreed scope.

Read the existing London service information or include this requirement in your enquiry.

Alarm monitoring and escalation

Confirm the monitoring provider, monitored hours, verification process, nominated contacts and attendance arrangements. A fixed response time must be expressly agreed.

Read the existing London service information or include this requirement in your enquiry.

Access control supporting guarding

Tell us about gate, door and visitor access requirements. Distinguish the guard's duties from installation, system administration and maintenance responsibilities.

Read the existing London service information or include this requirement in your enquiry.

Door automation enquiries

Door automation is a specialist installation requirement. Confirm the qualified installer, safety assessment, maintenance and access arrangements separately from the guarding assignment.

Read the existing London service information or include this requirement in your enquiry.

Close protection enquiries

Describe the assignment and request relevant individual licensing, qualifications, insurance and operational evidence. Specialist travel or overseas work requires separate confirmation.

Read the existing London service information or include this requirement in your enquiry.
