Our Opening and Closing Security Services in Birmingham

Birmingham mixes city-centre offices around Colmore Row, the workshops of the Jewellery Quarter, Digbeth's creative quarter and large industrial areas such as Tyseley, Aston and Witton. Our Solihull head office is just a few miles from the city centre. Clients here include sites where opening and closing has to happen on time, even when staff are not available, with sites including offices in the business district, jewellery workshops, retail units and industrial premises in Tyseley and Aston.

Our opening and closing security services in Birmingham take care of the first and last jobs of the day. An officer opens your premises at the agreed time, unsets the alarm and checks the building is as it should be. At close, they make sure everyone has left, check doors, windows and power, set the alarm and lock up. Every visit is logged.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do opening and closing security services work in Birmingham?

We agree your opening and closing times, checklists and alarm details. An officer attends your Birmingham site at those times and records each visit.

Which areas of Birmingham do you cover?

We cover all of Birmingham, including the city centre, Edgbaston, Erdington, Sutton Coldfield, Selly Oak, Digbeth, Small Heath and Acocks Green. Send us your postcode and we will confirm cover.

What do you check when closing a building?

We check the building is empty, doors and windows are secure, lights and equipment are off as agreed, and the alarm is set. Anything unusual is noted in your report.

Are your officers SIA-licensed?

Yes. Every officer we deploy holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to BS 7858.

Do you cover nights, weekends and bank holidays?

Yes. Our control centre runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Can I cover more than one site?

Yes. Sites in Birmingham and elsewhere in the UK can sit under one agreement with a single point of contact.
