Free site assessment

Tell us what you need in Durham. 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 Durham cover running smoothly, with the flexibility to adjust.

SIA-licensed officers

You should never accept an unlicensed guard. Every member of our Durham 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 Durham 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.

Available 24/7 in Durham

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.

Rapid & short-notice response

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.

Professional, presentable officers

A professional presence deters trouble before it starts. In Durham our officers are well-presented, alert and courteous, striking the balance between firm security and a welcoming face for staff and visitors.

Reporting & accountability

The technology behind our cover

Good security blends people and technology. Depending on your Durham site we combine officers with monitored sign-in, GPS-tracked patrols, body-worn cameras and, where useful, CCTV and alarm response — for stronger cover and a clearer evidence trail.

Fully insured & compliant

We carry comprehensive public and employer's liability insurance, so your Durham business is protected. Certificates are available on request, and our procedures are documented for audit.
