In the modern business landscape, security is not just a luxury; it is a fundamental pillar of operational success. Whether you manage a large commercial site or a small residential property, the risks associated with unauthorised access and alarm activations are significant. At Surety Keyholding Limited, a family run company based in Cheshire, we have spent over 25 years perfecting the art of security to ensure your assets remain protected 24/7.
The Hidden Risks of Self Managed Security
Many business owners initially believe they can handle security internally. However, responding to out of hours alarm activations is not only inconvenient; it is potentially dangerous for you and your staff. When an alarm triggers at 3:00 am, sending an untrained employee to investigate exposes them to unnecessary risk and places a heavy burden of responsibility on their shoulders.
By partnering with a professional service, you minimise these risks. We take over the responsibility outside of normal working hours, allowing you and your team to concentrate on the day to day running of your business and enjoy your well earned leisure time without the fear of a midnight call out.
Why Choose Mobile Patrols?
Mobile patrols are effective for so many reasons:
Mobile patrols are a visible deterrent to crime
A marked security vehicle patrolling your site says clearly that the property is not unmonitored. That alone can stop many intruders from even trying.
Our officers are looking for more than just forced entries
They are trained to spot things like windows or doors left open, signs of flooding, or other conditions that could lead to damage or a security breach. If anything unusual is found, we report it to you straight away so you can act quickly.
Mobile patrols are cost-effective
You get professional security at a fraction of the cost of a full-time guard on site. If your property is only empty at certain times, mobile patrols give you strong protection without unnecessary expense.
Comprehensive Keyholding and Alarm Response
Our dedicated keyholding service is designed to deliver total peace of mind. Operating to BS7984 standards, our professionally trained response officers are issued with your keys and respond immediately to any activation.
Upon arrival, our team performs a series of rigorous checks:
External and Internal Inspections
We thoroughly check the property for signs of forced entry or damage.
Incident Management
We manage the entire situation, waiting for the attendance of police, alarm engineers, or your staff if necessary.
Securing the Premises
Our officers will reset your alarm and ensure the building is fully secured before leaving.
Detailed Reporting
All activity is recorded in event logs, with a copy left on site and further copies available for three months.
Beyond emergencies, our keyholding services offer practical benefits like allowing access for tradesmen or deliveries and arranging emergency repairs if your property is damaged.
