MANNED GUARDING BIRMINGHAM
Static security guards for Birmingham businesses
A trained officer on site is still one of the most reliable forms of security. Our Birmingham security guards provide a visible, professional presence that deters theft, vandalism and trespass, and they are on hand to deal with anything that does happen.
Every officer holds an SIA licence, is background checked and is trained before starting work. They represent your business to staff, visitors and contractors, so we look for people who are reliable, calm and courteous as well as alert. Cover can be days, nights, weekends or 24 hours, depending on your site.
Birmingham brings a wide range of guarding work. Offices and professional buildings around Colmore Row need front-of-house officers. Industrial units in Tyseley, Nechells and Aston need gatehouse control and patrols. Building sites across the city need access control by day and protection at night. We match the officer to the role rather than sending the same cover everywhere.

CHOOSING COVER
When to add a dog team or mobile patrols
A static guard suits sites with a clear entrance and steady activity, such as offices, gatehouses and working construction sites. On large, dark or cluttered sites at night, one officer cannot see everything. That is where a dog team helps. Our security dog handlers in Birmingham can take over from your guard in the evening, using the dog's senses to check areas a person would miss.
For smaller premises that only need checks through the night, mobile patrols are often better value than a full-time officer. We supply all three, so we can recommend the right balance for your site.
STANDARDS
Trusted security officers, properly managed
Our officers are supported by management who check in, review reports and deal with any issues quickly. We hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification and work to recognised British Standards. Guards do not have police powers. They deter, control access, observe and report, and act within the law.

FAQs
Birmingham security guard FAQs
Can I book a security guard in Birmingham for a single day or event?
Yes. We provide guards for one-off events, short projects and cover while you deal with a problem, as well as long-term contracts. Tell us the date, hours and what the officer needs to do, and we will confirm availability and give you a quote. Call 0344 800 7066.
What does a gatehouse officer do?
A gatehouse officer controls who and what comes onto your site. Typical duties include checking drivers and visitors, operating barriers, recording vehicle details, issuing passes, checking loads where required and keeping an accurate log. They are often the first person a visitor meets, so they also represent your business.
Do your Birmingham guards have legal powers?
Security guards do not have police powers. They act as a deterrent, control access, observe and report, and can make a citizen's arrest only in specific circumstances, always within the law. Where a crime is in progress, they contact the police and record everything for you.
Can a guard and a dog team work on the same site?
Yes, and many Birmingham clients do this. A static guard manages the entrance and daytime activity, and a dog team covers the wider site at night or during high-risk periods. Both work to the same site instructions and report to the same contact, so nothing is missed at handover.
How much do security guards cost in Birmingham?
Cost depends on the number of officers, the hours of cover, the site and how long you need us. A single night differs from a year-long contract, and daytime reception cover differs from night guarding on an industrial site. We give a clear, no-obligation quote once we understand what you need. Call 0344 800 7066 or email info@pridek9.co.uk.
