What is construction keyholding?

Construction keyholding in Canary Wharf — we hold your site keys and attend alarms and access, so your team never attends alone.

Construction security protects building sites and their plant, materials and workforce. It combines manned guarding and gatehouse access control with electronic measures — CCTV towers, alarms and patrols — scaled to the phase and value of the site. Every construction keyholding assignment in Canary Wharf is planned around your site, your risks and your budget — never a one-size-fits-all package.

Why Canary Wharf businesses need construction keyholding

Every location carries different risks, and Canary Wharf is no exception. Whether you're protecting a business, a site, an event or a person in East London, our construction keyholding is planned around the local environment, response routes and the specific threats you face here.

What our construction keyholding in Canary Wharf includes

  • Keys held securely
  • Alarm attendance
  • Contractor access
  • Lock-up and open-up
  • Audit trail

Who we protect in Canary Wharf

Main contractors, developers, groundworkers and plant-hire firms use construction security to prevent theft and trespass, control site access, meet CDM and insurer requirements, and keep projects on schedule.

Signs you need construction keyholding

How our construction keyholding works in Canary Wharf

Free site assessment

Tell us what you need in Canary Wharf. We assess the premises, risks and hours to agree the right cover — with no obligation.

Written proposal & quote

You get a clear, no-surprises quote and assignment instructions in writing before anything starts.

Vetted officers deployed

SIA-licensed, BS 7858-vetted officers are matched to your site and briefed on your exact requirements.

Managed & reported

A named contact, monitored sign-in and regular reporting keep your Canary Wharf cover running smoothly, with the flexibility to adjust.

SIA-licensed officers

You should never accept an unlicensed guard. Every member of our Canary Wharf teams is licensed by the Security Industry Authority for the work they do, so your cover is lawful and your insurer is satisfied.

BS 7858 vetting & screening

The people protecting your Canary Wharf premises are thoroughly vetted to BS 7858, so you can be confident in who's on site — not just that they hold a licence, but that they've been properly background-checked.

Our promise to Canary Wharf clients

We'd rather keep a client than win one. Our Canary Wharf work is built on turning up, doing the job properly, and being straight with you — if we can't do something well, we'll say so.

Is construction keyholding right for you?

Not sure whether construction keyholding is the right choice for your Canary Wharf site? We'll tell you honestly. Sometimes a mobile patrol or monitored CCTV does the job at lower cost than a static officer — and sometimes only a full-time presence will do. We recommend what actually fits, not what's most expensive.

Safety & duty of care

Security is also a duty of care. Our Canary Wharf officers are trained to de-escalate conflict, follow lawful procedures, and put the safety of your staff, visitors and the public first — protecting your business from liability as well as loss.
