About the service

Instead of a permanent guard

A permanent guard isn't always necessary or cost-effective. For houses, flats and premises that don't justify 24-hour guarding, a patrol is the right answer: our guards come at irregular, unpredictable intervals, walk the property and its approaches, and log every visit. We arrange the timing on your request, daily, nights only, weekends, or for the period you're away.

Deterrence and schemes

A patrol is not just about response but about deterrence: the visible presence of a guard at unpredictable times is often enough to make a would-be burglar give up. For houses and flats we draw up a simple patrol scheme, which points and approaches we check, and in what time range, so the monitoring looks random while actually covering every vulnerable point.

Documented and connected

Every visit is recorded with electronic patrol control (each point scanned, with a timestamp), so the report shows when the guard was there and what they found. Patrols combine naturally with an alarm and the alarm receiving centre: on activation, a team already in the field arrives faster than anyone setting out from base. Everything by agreement and on request.

How we work

From your call to full monitoring in four steps

01

Call and assessment

You call or send an enquiry. In a short conversation we define what we're protecting, from what and by when. For premises we arrange a free site visit.

02

Plan and quote

We carry out a risk assessment and a written quote with exact equipment, headcount and price. No hidden items, with the delivery deadline in writing.

03

Delivery

System installation or team deployment to plan. For technical systems: installation, configuration and handover with training for use.

04

Monitoring and maintenance

With contracted monitoring, the alarm receiving centre takes over 0 to 24, and periodic servicing keeps the system in working order. One call and a technician is on site.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions: patrols

01What does a patrol look like?

Our vehicle and a guard arrive at irregular, unpredictable intervals, walk the property and its approaches and electronically scan the control points. We agree the timing and frequency on your request.

02Can I order patrols only while I'm on holiday?

Yes. We contract patrols for a specific period (a holiday, a trip, a season) or permanently, to a schedule that suits you.

03Do patrols work for a house or flat?

Yes. For houses and flats we draw up a simple scheme of approaches and vulnerable points; the monitoring looks random while covering everything that matters.

04What if the alarm goes off during a patrol?

If you're connected to our alarm receiving centre, the guard on patrol is already in the field and reaches the activation faster than a team from base; everything is documented.
