We offer technical surveillance, protective surveillance, trained drivers and bespoke security services designed to meet your needs. We are dedicated to providing a discreet and efficient security service. Our approach is always to ensure that minimal attention is drawn to our clients as we go about our business of protecting them and their loved ones.
experienced & capable
We ensure that when our clients return home, the residence is always in its original condition and that everything has been maintained properly. We use close protection operatives and residential security officers, more commonly known as bodyguards, to provide residential security. This means that when the client is staying at the property, they can carry out personal protection duties alongside the general residential security. We would also provide more members of the security team and expand their roles when the principal client is in residence at that location.
We can truly tailor a security plan and service from our residential security team that is suited to your home, locality and personal lifestyle. Our professional team are always discreet, unobtrusive and will never obstruct your daily life and routines.
Our experienced team can provide a gap analysis of existing residential security systems and relay techniques with a comprehensive guide on how to improve upon this. A security officer will address any issues or areas of weakness including sub-par alarm systems or existing security services. In addition to this, our services include initial risk assessments, guarding, monitoring, cleaning, maintenance and preparation for your return home.
Protect your entire street
When you are away on holiday or for a business trip, this can leave your property unattended or vacant, meaning that it can be a vulnerable target for thieves. By employing our residential security team, your home will be protected from threats such as unauthorised access, arson, theft and squatting.
Our residential security team can also be used as an element of protection and deterrents for your neighbourhood. For example you may have elderly relatives that live in a remote location or simply not in your local area. By implementing our services in the area, you can be reassured that there is a comprehensive security service in place. You can also arrange for daily or weekly visits to offer reassurance and company to the relative that there is help available if they need it.
The presence of our teams can help deter any fraudsters or criminals in the area. For example if there is an area highly populated with elderly people, it may be more likely to be targeted by door to door scams trying to con them out of their savings and preying on their vulnerability. We can put a stop to this risk, monitoring who is visiting your relatives and vetting any salespeople regularly in the area.

frequently asked questions
The level of cover: how many officers, for how many hours, and whether they live in or visit. Beyond that, the size of the home and grounds, the threat the family faces, whether the principal is in residence, and anything added to the plan, such as monitoring, maintenance or preparing the home for your return. Every plan is designed for one home and quoted individually.
It depends on how the home is used and what it faces. Live-in officers suit a home that is occupied, staffed or at higher risk, and cover is normally increased when the principal is in residence. Regular visits suit a home that stands empty for periods, or an elderly relative who would value daily or weekly reassurance. A risk assessment is the best way to decide.
In the UK, anyone supplied under contract to guard a home or the people in it needs a licence from the Security Industry Authority (SIA), and a close protection licence where they guard people. To get one, an applicant passes identity and criminal record checks and holds a recognised qualification, and licences last three years. You can check any officer's licence on the SIA register at https://www.gov.uk/check-a-private-security-licence.
