What is gatehouse security?

Gatehouse security in Barking Wharf controls every vehicle and person entering your site — logging, screening and directing traffic from a manned gate.

In Barking Wharf, our gatehouse security sits within a complete security guarding offering, so cover can scale up or down as your needs change. Security guarding puts a trained, SIA-licensed officer physically on your site to deter, detect and respond. Guards control access, monitor CCTV, patrol the premises, log incidents and act as a visible presence that stops trouble before it starts.
