What is temporary security?

Temporary security in Forest Hill — flexible short-term protection for empty buildings, projects, events and interim needs.

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. Every temporary security assignment in Forest Hill is planned around your site, your risks and your budget — never a one-size-fits-all package.

SIA-licensed officers

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 Forest Hill site.

Our Forest Hill 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.

The technology behind our cover

Our Forest Hill teams use the right tools for the job: real-time sign-in and check-calls, GPS patrol logging, body-worn video where appropriate, and integration with any CCTV or alarms you already have.

A typical Forest Hill assignment might start with a call on WhatsApp, a same-day site visit, and a licensed officer on shift within days — sometimes hours for urgent work. From there, cover settles into an agreed rota with regular reporting, adjusted whenever your needs change.

How much does temporary security cost in Forest Hill?

The cost of temporary security in Forest Hill 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.
