Trusted temporary security for businesses, sites and individuals in Edinburgh. Licensed, insured and locally responsive across Scotland, around the clock.
Temporary security in Edinburgh — flexible short-term protection for empty buildings, projects, events and interim needs.
In Edinburgh, our temporary security sits within a complete vacant property security offering, so cover can scale up or down as your needs change. Vacant property security protects buildings that are empty between tenants, sales, development or probate. It combines physical measures (guarding, patrols, board-up) with electronic ones (CCTV, alarms) and regular documented inspections.
From busy commercial districts to quieter sites on the edge of Scotland, Edinburgh needs security that fits its surroundings. We assess your premises, agree exactly what cover looks like, and put licensed officers in place who can respond quickly across Edinburgh and the neighbouring areas.
Our Edinburgh clients range from independent businesses to national organisations. Landlords, developers, managing agents, councils, receivers and executors use vacant property security to prevent squatting and damage, satisfy insurers, and keep a building ready for its next use.
Tell us what you need in Edinburgh. 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 Edinburgh cover running smoothly, with the flexibility to adjust.
You should never accept an unlicensed guard. Every member of our Edinburgh teams is licensed by the Security Industry Authority for the work they do, so your cover is lawful and your insurer is satisfied.
The people protecting your Edinburgh 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.
We operate around the clock in Edinburgh. Whether it's a planned contract or an urgent same-day request, there's always a real person to answer, and we can often have a licensed officer with you quickly.
Emergencies don't wait, so we don't either. For short-notice cover in Edinburgh — after an incident, a failed contract or a sudden threat — we move fast to get an officer on site.
Presentation is part of protection. Our Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh we back manned cover with monitored attendance, GPS patrol tracking and camera evidence, so nothing slips through unrecorded.
We carry comprehensive public and employer's liability insurance, so your Edinburgh business is protected. Certificates are available on request, and our procedures are documented for audit.
Picture a Edinburgh business that's had repeated trouble out of hours. We assess the site, put the right temporary security in place, and the disruption stops — because a visible, licensed presence changes behaviour. That's the outcome we plan for on every job.

Choosing the right cover in Edinburgh is about matching the solution to the risk. temporary security suits some situations perfectly; for others, a different mix of guarding, patrols and technology works better. Ask us and we'll guide you to the right answer.
Security is also a duty of care. Our Edinburgh officers are trained to de-escalate conflict, follow lawful procedures, and put the safety of your staff, visitors and the public first — protecting your business from liability as well as loss.
