A London Security Company, Not a Middleman

Plenty of “security companies” are really agencies passing your contract to whoever’s cheapest that week. We’re not that. We directly employ, vet and manage our officers, we hold the accreditations ourselves, and we run our own 24/7 control room — so the people on your site answer to us, and we answer to you.

We’re a trading name of Accolade UK Ltd — the same team, the same accreditations, the same control room — protecting London across offices, retail, hotels, venues, construction, residential, student housing, warehouses, stadiums and events.

Protecting London Since 2004

We’ve been an operating London security company since August 2004. In this industry that matters: licences lapse, companies rebrand overnight, and plenty of names on Google didn’t exist last year. Two decades of continuous operation, audited every year, isn’t something a new outfit can claim.

The company was built by someone who worked the job long before he ran it. Security Firm London has spent around 27 years in London’s security and night-time economy — on the doors, in the control room, and on the end of the phone at 3am when an alarm goes off and someone has to go and deal with it. That’s why the people we hire are the people he’d have wanted beside him, and the standards we hold are the ones he learned the hard way.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: dependable, licensed security, delivered by people we’ve trained and vetted ourselves, at a price we’ll tell you up front. We’d rather prevent an incident quietly than manage a crisis loudly.

Accountability

Directly employed officers, named contacts, and a company you can look up — number, accreditations and all.

Transparency

We publish our price. From £19 per hour, stated plainly — most London competitors won’t put a number on a page.

Prevention over escalation

Officers trained to de-escalate and handle things calmly, not to create confrontation.

Proof, not promises

Supervision, patrol-tracking and written reports, so what we say happened is something you can check.

Industries We Protect

We protect businesses of every size across London, and we specialise by sector — because a hotel, a building site and a stadium need very different security, not a one-size template.

Corporate Office Security

Concierge Security

Construction Security

Door Supervisors

Event Security

Hotel Security

Industrial and Warehouse Security

Key Holding

Retail Security

Mobile Patrol

The Standards We’re Held To

Whatever the sector, the work comes down to a handful of delivery methods — and we do all of them in-house.

Manned Guarding

SIA-licensed static officers on your site, for a shift or around the clock.

Door Supervision

Licensed door staff for venues, events and controlled entry.

Mobile Patrols

Scheduled, tracked patrols across one large site or several — the cost-effective alternative to a static guard.

Key Holding & Alarm Response

We hold your keys and attend when the alarm goes, so your staff don’t.

CCTV Monitoring

SIA-licensed operators watching your cameras from our control room.

Concierge & Reception

Front-of-house officers who blend a welcome with real access control.

How We Work

Every contract runs through the same seven steps, so nothing is left to chance.

1.Contact

You get in touch; we listen before we quote.

2. Site assessment

We visit and walk the site — entrances, risks, hours, vulnerable points.

3. Risk assessment

We put the risks in writing and agree what cover they actually need.

4. Security plan

Officer numbers, hours and procedures, matched to your site and budget — not a template.

5. Deployment

SIA-licensed, BS 7858-vetted officers arrive briefed on your building and procedures.

6. Management

Supervisors check in, and our 24/7 control room backs every officer.

The Standards We’re Held To

Anyone can call themselves a security company. These are the things that are independently checked — and the ones a serious buyer should ask any provider to prove.

SIA Approved Contractor (ACS)

The Security Industry Authority’s voluntary approval scheme — assessed against 78 performance indicators across 7 criteria, every year. In our most recent ACS audit we scored 136 out of 145, placing us in the top 5% of UK security providers. Our approval covers Door Supervision, Security Guarding, Key Holding and Public Space CCTV.

ISO 9001

Independently certified quality management — how we recruit, train and run the business is audited to an international standard.

SafeContractor Approved

Health-and-safety accreditation (Alcumus), confirming we meet the standards required to work on managed sites.

British Assessment Bureau — COP 119

Audited annually by the BAB against the code of practice for labour providers in the security sector.

BS 7858 & BS 7499

Every officer is screened to BS 7858 (security vetting) and we work to BS 7499 (static guarding).

ICO Registered

Registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office for responsible handling of data, including CCTV and personal information.
