Static Security Guards in Surrey | On-Site Guarding

A licensed guard stays on your site for the hours you need. They are briefed on your building, not handed a generic checklist, and they write up every shift so you know what happened.

Our services

What our guards do

Reception & front desk

A visible, professional first point of contact who signs visitors in, directs them, and keeps a record of who was in the building and when.

Access control

Checking credentials at entries, gates and loading bays, and turning away anyone who should not be on site, without the confrontation escalating.

Overnight site guarding

Continuous presence through the hours when the building is empty, which is when most loss actually happens.

Retail loss prevention

A guard on the floor during trading hours, deterring theft and supporting staff during incidents rather than leaving them to handle it alone.

Construction site guarding

Gate control and on-site presence for active builds holding copper, tooling and material, including out-of-hours cover.

Shift reports you can read

Every shift written up with what happened, who attended and what was actioned, filed so you see it rather than hearing it second-hand.

Getting started

How it works

01

Site walk and risk review

We walk the property with you, identify the entries and hours that actually carry risk, and agree what a guard is there to do.

02

Post orders written

Your site gets a written post order: which doors matter, who is authorised after hours, who to call first, and when to escalate.

03

Guards assigned and briefed

The same guards wherever possible, briefed on your post order before their first shift so coverage does not reset every time someone is off.

04

Reports filed as you go

Shift reports and incidents recorded and made available to you, not compiled days later on paper.

Who we help

Places we guard

Different sites need different things. A front desk is not the same job as a gate on an industrial yard, so we match the guard and the brief to your site. If mobile patrol would cost you less and still cover you properly, we will say so.

Corporate & office

Lobby reception, access control and after-hours floors.

Retail

Shop-floor presence during trading and secure close-down.

Strata & residential

Concierge-style cover, parkade and common-area control.

Industrial & warehouse

Gatehouse and yard control across the Port Kells area.

Construction

Site entry control for active builds holding material.

Healthcare & institutional

Front-of-house cover on privacy-sensitive sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between static guarding and mobile patrol?

A static guard is on your site for the whole shift. Mobile patrol visits on a schedule and covers several properties in a run. Static costs more because you are paying for continuous presence, so it suits sites that need someone there at all times. If patrol would cover you properly, we will say so.

That depends on the site and the shift pattern. Tell us the hours you need covered and we will quote against them, rather than pushing you to a fixed block that does not fit.

Wherever scheduling allows, yes. Consistency matters because a guard who knows your building spots what is out of place. Every site also has a written post order so cover does not collapse when a regular guard is off.

Yes. Every guard holds an individual BC security licence and we are licensed under the BC Security Services Act. You are entitled to verify that before hiring us, and we encourage it.

Yes. Many clients use a single post for front-desk reception and access control together, which usually works out more economical than staffing the two separately.
