What is temporary security?

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

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

Why Soho businesses need temporary security

Local knowledge matters. Our officers work regularly across Soho and Central London, so they understand the area's layout, its busy periods and the kinds of incidents that occur — and that shapes how we plan your temporary security.

What our temporary security in Soho includes

  • Short-term cover
  • Guards, patrols or CCTV
  • Fast setup
  • No long contract
  • Scalable

Who we protect in Soho

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. If that sounds like your situation in Soho, we can help — and there's no job too small or too large.

Signs you need temporary security

  • You've had a break-in, theft or incident at your Soho premises
  • Your insurer requires a security presence or documented cover
  • Staff or visitors feel unsafe, especially at opening, closing or after dark
  • Your site is empty, exposed, or between occupants
  • You need cover at short notice or for a one-off situation
  • Anti-social behaviour, trespass or intrusion is a recurring problem

How our temporary security works in Soho

Free site assessment

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

SIA-licensed officers

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

Our Soho 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.

Rapid & short-notice response

When something happens, speed matters. We prioritise urgent and short-notice requests in Soho, mobilising licensed officers quickly to secure your premises, people or event.

Professional, presentable officers

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

Reporting & accountability

Every shift in Soho is logged. You get time-stamped patrol records, incident reports and clear handovers — so your cover is fully auditable and ready for insurers or management.

The technology behind our cover

Our Soho 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.

Fully insured & compliant

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

What a Soho assignment looks like

A typical Soho 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 Soho?

The cost of temporary security in Soho 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.

Our promise to Soho clients

We'd rather keep a client than win one. Our Soho work is built on turning up, doing the job properly, and being straight with you — if we can't do something well, we'll say so.

Is temporary security right for you?

A good security team reduces risk without creating new ones. Our Soho officers are trained in de-escalation and safe, lawful conduct, so incidents are handled calmly and your liability is protected.
