Our Opening and Closing Security Services in London
London's commercial property ranges from offices in the City and Canary Wharf to retail on the West End streets, industrial estates at Park Royal and warehouses along the Thames Gateway. Sites are often busy by day and empty at night, which is when a professional response matters most. Locally we support sites where opening and closing has to happen on time, even when staff are not available, at City and West End offices, high-street retail, industrial estates such as Park Royal and warehouses in east London.
Our opening and closing security services in London 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 London?
We agree your opening and closing times, checklists and alarm details. An officer attends your London site at those times and records each visit.
Which areas of London do you cover?
We cover Greater London, including the City of London, Westminster, Camden, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Croydon, Barnet and Ealing. 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 London and elsewhere in the UK can sit under one agreement with a single point of contact.
