Our Out of Hours Keyholding Service in the West Midlands
The West Midlands is one of the UK's busiest business regions, with Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Solihull and the Black Country towns linked by the M5, M6 and M42. Uniguard's head office is in Solihull, so the region is home ground for our officers. Locally we support employers who no longer want staff attending alarms on their own at night, at city-centre offices, manufacturing plants, logistics sheds near the motorway network and retail parks across the region.
Out of hours keyholding in the West Midlands protects your staff as much as your building. Instead of asking an employee to drive to a dark, empty site after an alarm, our trained officer attends. They check the premises, deal with the problem, meet emergency services if needed and secure the site. It removes a real duty-of-care risk and gives you peace of mind evenings, nights and weekends.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does out of hours keyholding work in the West Midlands?
We hold your keys and your out-of-hours instructions. When an alarm or emergency occurs outside working hours, an officer attends your premises in the West Midlands and sends you a report of what happened.
Which areas of the West Midlands do you cover?
We cover the whole West Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Solihull, Dudley, Walsall and Sandwell. Send us your postcode and we will confirm cover.
Why not just use a member of staff as keyholder?
Sending staff to an alarm at night puts them at risk and can breach your duty of care. Our officers are trained and licensed for it, and many insurers prefer a professional keyholder.

Yes. Every officer we deploy holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to BS 7858.
Do you cover nights, weekends and bank holidays?
