SIA LICENSED
Security Guards in London
Manned guarding across London, from construction gatehouses and commercial receptions to empty buildings and event perimeters.
MANNED GUARDING LONDON
Security officers for London sites of every kind
London's security needs are as varied as its property. A construction site in Zone 1 needs tight control of deliveries in narrow streets. A logistics yard in Barking or Park Royal needs a gatehouse and patrols. An empty office block needs a presence that stops trespass before it starts. A managed building needs an officer who is as much host as guard.
We provide SIA-licensed, vetted officers for all of these. Each is briefed on your site before the first shift and works to written instructions agreed with you, so responsibilities are clear from day one.
CONSTRUCTION
Construction site security guards in London
Construction is a large part of our London work. Officers manage the gate, check contractors and deliveries in and out, keep the site log, monitor cameras where they are installed and carry out patrols of the compound, stores and part-built floors.
Out of hours the focus shifts to protecting plant, cable, fuel and fit-out materials, and to keeping people off a site that can be dangerous as well as valuable. See our construction site security page for how guards, dogs and cameras fit together on a project.
- Gate and delivery control
- Contractor sign-in and site logs
- Patrols of compounds and stores
- Out-of-hours protection
- Incident reporting to the site team

When a London site needs more than a guard
Some London sites are simply too large or too exposed for one officer. A dog team is the practical answer at night: our security dog handlers in London work with NASDU-approved dogs that can search buildings and yards far more quickly than a person alone.
For premises that need checks rather than constant presence, mobile patrols and key holding are often more sensible. Cameras and alarms fill the gaps, and an officer can attend when something is triggered. We will recommend the combination that matches your risk.

FAQs
London security guard FAQs
Can you provide guards at short notice in London?
We handle short-notice requests regularly, particularly after a break-in or when a site suddenly becomes vacant. We do not promise a fixed response time, but we will tell you honestly what we can arrange and when. Call 0344 800 7066 at any hour to talk it through.
Do you supply guards for London construction projects?
Yes. This is one of our main areas of work in the capital. Officers manage gates, deliveries and contractor sign-in during the working day and protect the site out of hours. On larger projects, guards, dog teams and camera towers are often used together.
Can an officer cover reception duties as well as security?
Yes. Front-of-house officers combine access control with welcoming visitors, managing passes and helping with building procedures. We look for officers with the right manner for the role, since they are often the first person anyone meets when entering your building.
Do you cover events and licensed premises in London?
Yes. We supply SIA-licensed officers for entrances, perimeters and car parks at events and venues, and can add dog teams for larger sites or higher-risk areas away from the crowd. Give us the venue, date and expected numbers and we will plan suitable cover.
