Security Service
Property & Asset Protection
A business loses money three ways: theft, downtime and customers who no longer feel safe. Commercial security has to address all three.
What this service covers
Commercial sites have two very different security problems. During trading hours the site is open, busy and full of strangers, so the job is order, access and loss prevention without making customers feel policed. After hours the site is empty and valuable, so the job is perimeter integrity, lighting, patrols and fast reaction.
We build the plan around your trading pattern: officers at entrances and loading bays during the day, controlled contractor and delivery access, and a tighter locked-down posture at night with patrol routes that cover roofs, yards, fence lines and blind spots.
Where a landlord or centre manager is responsible for multiple tenants, we coordinate with tenants, cleaning and maintenance staff so keys, alarm codes and after-hours access follow one written procedure instead of informal arrangements.

Frequently asked questions
Can you cover only after hours?
Yes. Many commercial clients use their own staff during trading hours and book us from closing to opening, plus weekends and public holidays.
Do you help with stock losses inside the business?
Yes. Access control at staff and delivery doors, bag and vehicle checks where policy allows, and loss-prevention measures are part of the plan. See our loss prevention page for detail.
Can one contract cover several properties?
Yes. If you manage multiple buildings or centres we run them under one contract with one point of contact and consolidated reporting.
What about emergencies like fire or medical incidents?
Officers are briefed on your evacuation routes and emergency contacts, assist with evacuation and crowd control, and call emergency services immediately.
