Professional Guarding at Every Scale

"Protect your staff from out-of-hours danger with Uniguard's professional keyholding company and rapid alarm response service, operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year."
Managing commercial alarm activations can expose employees to physical harm, late-night travel risks, and corporate liability. Uniguard acts as your dedicated commercial keyholding partner across the UK. Stored safely in off-site secure vaults per BS7984 standards, your keys are managed by SIA-licensed keyholders who deploy instantly upon alarm activation. We inspect the premises, clear false alarms, contact emergency services if needed, and re-secure your site safely.
