What is gatehouse security?

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

As part of our wider security guarding in City of Westminster, this service is delivered by officers who are trained, licensed and briefed specifically to your premises. 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.

Vetted officers deployed

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

SIA-licensed officers

Every officer we send to City of Westminster 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.

BS 7858 vetting & screening

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 City of Westminster site.

Professional, presentable officers

Whether uniformed and highly visible or low-key and discreet, our City of Westminster officers look and act the part — because how security carries itself changes how people behave around it.
