Manned Guarding Services

What are manned guarding services?

Securak provides professional manned guarding services for commercial premises, construction sites, industrial facilities, vacant properties and other locations across the UK. Our security personnel provide a visible on-site presence to help control access, monitor activity, protect assets and respond to security concerns as they arise. Manned guarding means using trained security personnel to protect people, property or premises from risks such as unauthorised access, theft, vandalism, damage and disorder. Our manned security services can be planned around the individual requirements, operating hours and security risks of each site.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do manned guarding services cost?

The cost depends on factors such as the number of security officers required, operating hours, site location, level of risk and whether you need temporary or continuous coverage. When comparing manned guarding companies, it is important to consider the duties and level of coverage included rather than the hourly rate alone. Contact us for a tailored quotation.

What does manned guarding mean?

Manned guarding meaning refers to the physical presence of security personnel who protect premises, property or people. Depending on the assignment, duties can include controlling access, carrying out patrols, monitoring activity, protecting assets and responding to security incidents.

What does a manned security guard do?

A manned security guard may monitor entrances and exits, carry out scheduled patrols, check restricted areas, monitor visitors or contractors, identify suspicious activity and report or escalate incidents. The precise duties depend on the site and the type of security licence required for the work.

Can you provide temporary or 24/7 manned security services?

Yes. Manned guarding can be arranged for temporary requirements, out-of-hours periods, overnight protection or ongoing 24/7 security, depending on the needs and risk profile of the site.

Do you assess the site before manned guarding begins?

A site assessment helps establish access points, vulnerable areas, operating hours and the security duties required. This information allows us to develop a suitable manned guard security plan and determine the level of coverage needed.

Do you provide manned guarding services across the UK?

Yes. Securak provides professional manned guarding services for commercial, construction, industrial, residential and other suitable sites across the UK.
