Why protect a construction site?
Each year, the UK construction industry faces losses of around £800 million due to vandalism and theft, as reported by insurers Allianz Cornhill.
Their findings highlight that these substantial losses primarily stem from the costs of replacing stolen or damaged items, lost business, and increased insurance premiums.
Theft – According to the Chartered Institute of Building’s 2016 study on crime in the construction industry, 21% of the 1,100 construction professionals surveyed reported experiencing theft during the week of the survey. Even more alarming, 92% of respondents reported being victims of theft annually, with many experiencing it on a weekly or monthly basis.
Vandalism – The same study revealed that 91% of participants had been victims of vandalism. While fences and locks can deter casual intruders, to protect against more determined criminals and prevent significant damage to equipment, the presence of a CCTV tower is crucial.
Our approach
Assessment – We personally assess each new site to ensure that we provide the most effective coverage based on our expert evaluation.
Implementation – One of our Area Service Managers will meet with you to address any specific concerns, establish a patrol route, and determine a schedule for the security guards. Together, you’ll identify key landmarks along the route, which our officers will photograph as they patrol to provide real-time updates on the condition of your site.
Reporting – We meticulously document every step of our construction security guards’ patrol route and provide daily reports on our observations and findings.
Vetted, licensed & experienced
KK Security is one of the UK’s most highly accredited security companies, holding some of the industry’s most esteemed certifications.
Our security guards are SIA licensed, vetted to British Standard BS 7858, and thoroughly checked against the DBS database.
They also operate in compliance with BS 7499, the specific standard for security guard services.
Site-specific assignments
The initial step for any manned guarding contract on a construction project is for one of our experienced security team members to visit and thoroughly assess your site. Following this, we provide a detailed report, from which a tailored, site-specific set of assignment instructions is created for our security guards.
Detailed record keeping
Our security guards will carefully document all data while carrying out the agreed, site-specific tasks. Any potential incidents or concerns are recorded in the relevant logbook and time-stamped accordingly.
Expert supervision
At KK Security, we prioritize the quality of our service. We take great care in ensuring our staff’s well-being, and we apply the same level of attention to our supervision.
We conduct random site visits on a regular basis to ensure that the service you receive consistently meets the high standards we have set.
Rapid deployment
KK Security offers nationwide coverage and can swiftly arrange a site assessment, followed by the deployment of security guards to your location.
Canine patrols
We offer canine security guard patrols with experienced handlers if needed. With their exceptional sense of smell and hearing, our canine officers can cover the area of two to three human guards, making them an efficient choice for many sites.
Call us at 020 3441 9391 to discuss your needs, and we’ll help determine whether your site requires human security, canine security, or a combination of both!
OUR SECURITY GUARDS

We are one of the UK’s most accredited security firms, holding some of the most esteemed industry qualifications.
Each security guard we deploy is SIA licensed, thoroughly vetted to British Standard BS 7858, and checked against the DBS database.
Our guards operate in compliance with BS 7499, the standard specifically for security guards involved in licensed activities in the UK.

Our security officers are highly trained, hold valid SIA licenses, and utilize the latest reporting technologies and mobile security solutions.
Drawing on their extensive experience protecting various types of premises, our security guards will assess potential security risks specific to your site and implement a tailored plan to address them.
Depending on your needs, our officers can work individually, as part of a team, or alongside a canine unit.
Construction Site Security
The UK construction industry faces ongoing challenges from thieves, vandals, and arsonists, with criminal activity causing losses of around £800m annually.
The most effective way to safeguard your site from these threats and prevent the significant costs of replacing stolen items and repairing damages is by employing security officers to deter intruders and enhance overall security.
Construction site security guard responsibilities
Construction site security guards will manage site access, ensuring only authorised individuals can enter, serve as a visible deterrent to potential thieves, and provide detailed reports of their observations that can help refine and enhance security measures.
Since every construction site is unique, we conduct an on-site assessment before deploying security guards. Based on our findings, we will develop a customised set of assignment instructions that the guards will follow once on-site.

Void Property Security
If you own a vacant property, it’s crucial to ensure it remains secure while you search for a new tenant.
Although the goal of leaving a property vacant is to save money, any savings can quickly be lost if the property becomes a target for vandalism, theft, or squatting.
Why protect void property?
Many vacant properties still contain valuable items, making them attractive targets for opportunistic thieves, as they often present a lower risk of being disturbed once entered.
Squatting is another significant concern for property owners, especially with stricter laws around residential squatting leading to an increase in squatters occupying commercial properties.
Dealing with squatters can be a nightmare, and the damage they cause during their stay can be expensive to repair.
To protect your property from theft, vandalism, and squatting, it’s essential to have proper security measures in place. Manned security guarding services are one of the most effective ways to safeguard your vacant property.
We offer security guard services across the UK, handling sites of any size, in any location, with our highly trained and professional personnel.
Monitored surveillance
If you prefer not to have 24/7 manned security, we also offer mobile CCTV systems that can be deployed on your site and remotely monitored.
For instance, with a monitored CCTV tower, any suspicious activity will be automatically detected, triggering an alert to our local central monitoring station. From there, a team of SIA-licensed security guards will be dispatched to your premises immediately.
This solution offers a cost-effective way to ensure rapid response to emergencies, though having a full-time security officer presence remains the most effective security option.
Corporate Security guards
Managing a business is demanding and often stressful, with the safety of your staff, visitors, and customers being a top priority. We supply security guards to a wide range of public and private sectors, ensuring our security personnel seamlessly integrate into your existing operations. With a flexible uniform policy and a commitment to providing top-notch service, we guarantee excellence. Some of the corporate security services we offer include:
Concierge Security guards
Security guards are often the first point of contact for visitors entering your premises, making first impressions essential for your business. At KK Security, our officers ensure a positive experience while representing your company. We understand that while security remains the top priority, our guards can also provide concierge services alongside their security duties. Our concierge security staff are trained in:
- Telephony
- Reception skills
- First aid
- Customer service
While security is always the primary focus, excellent customer service is central to our approach. We are committed to representing your company with the same professionalism and high standards you expect from all your staff.
Retail security guards
Retail businesses, often storing large quantities of valuable stock, are prime targets for theft both day and night.
Our skilled security guards provide round-the-clock protection for your premises without disrupting your daily operations. They offer a friendly and approachable presence to customers while serving as a strong visual deterrent to potential thieves and vandals.
We also offer a flexible uniform policy through our in-house uniform department, ensuring that we can tailor the style of security attire to match the image and branding of your business.
Hotel Security Guards
In any industry, reputation is critical, but it’s especially true in the hotel business.
Your reputation with guests is essential for your ongoing success, and maintaining a safe and secure environment plays a crucial role in that.
With so many people coming and going, it can be challenging to keep track of all activity. This is where our professional security services make a difference.
For any hotel serious about security and the safety of its guests and staff, having skilled security guards is indispensable.
The trained eye of our security staff enables them to spot suspicious behavior in a crowd, an invaluable asset in a busy hotel reception area with constant foot traffic.
Our guards can either remain stationed in key areas or conduct mobile patrols across the site, securing vulnerable areas and access points, depending on your needs.
As one of the UK’s leading security companies, we also provide custom-built CCTV systems for hotels and other commercial properties nationwide.
Our staff are fully trained in CCTV operations and use this technology to enhance their security efforts. By monitoring the footage and alerting team members to potential issues, they can respond immediately and arrive at the scene in seconds.
In the event of an incident, our security guards are trained in conflict management, ensuring the safety of all guests and keeping them away from the area until law enforcement or emergency services arrive.
Office Security Guards
Office buildings should be secure and comfortable spaces where employees can perform at their best. The presence of security guards in an office environment not only adds a professional touch for visitors but also contributes to a more productive and positive workplace. Our office security guards are typically stationed at the front desk, where they will check IDs, keep thorough records of office access, and deter any criminal activity—all while maintaining exceptional customer service at all times.
Public Sector Security Guards
We provide SIA-accredited security guards for clients across both the public and private sectors. Our public sector clients often handle valuable assets and serve some of society’s most vulnerable individuals. We protect a wide range of public properties, including hospitals, schools, colleges, and government offices. With these locations often bustling with activity, our officers’ expertise in crowd management and conflict resolution proves invaluable in ensuring smooth operations. For those seeking a more discreet service, we offer security guards who can be dressed in uniforms matching your staff’s attire, helping create a unified and cohesive image.
Airport Security Guards
Over the last two decades, airport security has undergone a complete transformation. The tragic events of 9/11 underscored the devastating impact of security breaches, prompting the introduction of extensive new security measures and regulations. While advanced technology has revolutionized passenger screening, it is our highly trained staff who complement this equipment with their ability to spot suspicious behavior, even in the busiest environments. Airports operate around the clock, and so do we, delivering top-notch service and exceptional customer care every day of the year.
Our Approach
Assessment
When we onboard a new client, we carry out a thorough site analysis to ensure our security guards can deliver optimal coverage.
Implementation
At this point, one of our Area Service Managers will meet with you directly to address any concerns and establish a schedule and route for mobile patrols. This will involve identifying key locations for our officers to photograph during their patrols, ensuring a continuous record of your site’s condition.
Reporting
To ensure ongoing review and enhancement of security at your property, every step of our security guard patrols will be documented. Our officers will also submit daily reports on their observations and offer recommendations for any necessary changes. If you’re in need of security guard services, contact KK Security today at 020 3441 9391, and our expert support team will be happy to assist you.
