Professional construction keyholding in Durham — from a single shift to fully managed, permanent cover, delivered by SIA-licensed officers who know North East.
Construction keyholding in Durham — we hold your site keys and attend alarms and access, so your team never attends alone.
In Durham, our construction keyholding sits within a complete construction security offering, so cover can scale up or down as your needs change. 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 location carries different risks, and Durham is no exception. Whether you're protecting a business, a site, an event or a person in North East, our construction keyholding is planned around the local environment, response routes and the specific threats you face here.
Our Durham clients range from independent businesses to national organisations. 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.

SIA-licensed, BS 7858-vetted officers are matched to your site and briefed on your exact requirements.
A named contact, monitored sign-in and regular reporting keep your Durham cover running smoothly, with the flexibility to adjust.
Every officer we send to Durham holds a valid licence from the Security Industry Authority (SIA), the UK regulator for private security. SIA licensing is a legal requirement for security work — and we never deploy an unlicensed officer, whatever the pressure or timescale.
Our officers are screened to BS 7858 — the British Standard for vetting security personnel. That means identity, right-to-work, employment history and character are properly checked before anyone sets foot on your Durham site.
Security doesn't keep office hours, and neither do we. Cover in Durham is available day and night, all year round, with someone real answering every call and message.
Our Durham response is built for urgency: a real person answers, we confirm what we can deploy and how quickly, and we get officers moving without the usual delays.
Whether uniformed and highly visible or low-key and discreet, our Durham officers look and act the part — because how security carries itself changes how people behave around it.
You'll always know what's happening on your Durham site. Shift reports, incident logs and monitored sign-in give you a complete, insurer-ready record of the service.
Our Durham teams use the right tools for the job: real-time sign-in and check-calls, GPS patrol logging, body-worn video where appropriate, and integration with any CCTV or alarms you already have.
Full insurance is a baseline, not an extra. Our Durham cover is backed by public and employer's liability insurance, with documentation available whenever you need it for a tender or contract.
A typical Durham assignment might start with a call on WhatsApp, a same-day site visit, and a licensed officer on shift within days — sometimes hours for urgent work. From there, cover settles into an agreed rota with regular reporting, adjusted whenever your needs change.
We keep pricing straightforward. Your Durham quote reflects the actual hours, officer numbers and requirements of the job — nothing hidden. Message us and we'll price it properly, usually the same day.
Every officer holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to BS 7858 — the recognised standard for security staff.

Not sure whether construction keyholding is the right choice for your Durham 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.
Doing security properly means doing it safely and lawfully. In Durham our officers work within the law on searches, refusals and reasonable force, are conflict-management trained, and prioritise everyone's safety on site.
