Common questions
How quickly can security cover start?
It depends on the service, location and number of officers. Short-notice and emergency deployments can be arranged, and are best discussed by phone on 0330 520 2207. For planned contracts, we recommend involving us at the planning stage so a site survey and assignment instructions are in place before day one.
What information do you need to prepare a security quotation?
The site address or postcode, the type of premises, the service required, the days and hours of cover, the number of officers or patrol visits, the start date and expected contract length, and any known risks or incidents. Access arrangements, existing alarm or CCTV systems, and any insurer requirements also help. You can send these via our quote form.
How does Seccuro report on the work it carries out?
Mobile patrols are recorded with wearable digital patrol recording and a digital report for each visit. Patrol vehicles are satellite-tracked. Alarm activations are followed by a detailed incident report. Reporting formats and escalation contacts are agreed with each client. See technology and reporting.
How much does a security guard cost in the UK?
Hourly charge rates depend mainly on officer pay, which must be at least the National Living Wage, plus employer costs (National Insurance, holiday pay, pension), licensing, training, supervision, control room support, insurance and margin. Nights, weekends, bank holidays, short contracts and specialist roles cost more. Seccuro quotes per site after scoping. Full cost guide.
