Professional manned guarding in Guards — from a single shift to fully managed, permanent cover, delivered by SIA-licensed officers who know Scotland.
Manned guarding in Guards — dedicated officers who man your site, control who comes and goes, and keep a professional record of everything that happens on shift.
In Guards, our manned guarding 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.
Every location carries different risks, and Guards is no exception. Whether you're protecting a business, a site, an event or a person in Scotland, our manned guarding is planned around the local environment, response routes and the specific threats you face here.
Our Guards clients range from independent businesses to national organisations. Offices, retail units, warehouses, business parks, schools, car parks, residential blocks and industrial estates all use manned guarding — anywhere a physical presence protects assets, reassures staff and satisfies insurers.
Tell us what you need in Guards. We assess the premises, risks and hours to agree the right cover — with no obligation.
You get a clear, no-surprises quote and assignment instructions in writing before anything starts.
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 Guards cover running smoothly, with the flexibility to adjust.
Every officer we send to Guards 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 Guards site.
Our Guards cover runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including nights, weekends and bank holidays. Need officers at short notice? Message us on WhatsApp and we'll mobilise as fast as we safely can.
When something happens, speed matters. We prioritise urgent and short-notice requests in Guards, mobilising licensed officers quickly to secure your premises, people or event.
Presentation is part of protection. Our Guards officers are smartly uniformed (or discreet where that's what you need), calm and professional — a visible deterrent that also reflects well on your business.
You'll always know what's happening on your Guards site. Shift reports, incident logs and monitored sign-in give you a complete, insurer-ready record of the service.
Technology multiplies what an officer can do. In Guards we back manned cover with monitored attendance, GPS patrol tracking and camera evidence, so nothing slips through unrecorded.
Full insurance is a baseline, not an extra. Our Guards cover is backed by public and employer's liability insurance, with documentation available whenever you need it for a tender or contract.
Picture a Guards business that's had repeated trouble out of hours. We assess the site, put the right manned guarding in place, and the disruption stops — because a visible, licensed presence changes behaviour. That's the outcome we plan for on every job.
The cost of manned guarding in Guards depends on the hours, the number of officers, the site and the level of risk — so we quote each job individually rather than quoting a misleading headline rate. Send us the details on WhatsApp and you'll get a clear, no-obligation price.
