05 — Questions

Before you book.

How much will it cost?

It depends on your site, the hours and the duties. We don't use one price for everyone: we survey your site and quote for exactly what it needs.

Do you have to hold my keys?

No. Keys can be kept in a key safe at your property instead.

What happens after a call-out?

We send you a full report of what the officer found and did, and advise on the security of your premises.

Are your officers licensed?

Yes. Every officer holds a valid SIA licence, and we are an SIA Approved Contractor for security guarding and keyholding.
