Services
Key Holding
Our biometric key storage system protects client keys in custom-built safes while enabling rapid access for security officers. SIA-licensed teams respond to alarms within 20 minutes, securing properties and coordinating emergency services when needed. This service prevents false activations and ensures insurance compliance for residential and commercial clients.
Wireless Alarms
These self-contained wireless alarms operate without power or phone lines, using AI to distinguish animals from intruders. Systems send real-time images to our control room, activating 120dB sirens and flashing lights to deter breaches while avoiding false call-out charges for clients.
Mobile Patrols
High-visibility vehicles patrol established routes 24/7 across East Anglia, conducting scheduled lock-ups and random inspections. Our SIA-trained officers perform foot patrols to detect forced entry, vandalism, and environmental hazards, providing both reactive and preventative security for industrial estates and vacant properties.
Static Guards
SIA-certified guards provide physical deterrence at construction sites, retail parks, and events. Our personnel undergo continuous training in conflict resolution and emergency response, with specialist dog handlers available for enhanced threat detection capabilities across commercial and residential locations.
Alarm Response
Trained teams guarantee attendance within 20 minutes of alarm activation, conducting property assessments to identify intrusions or accidental damage. No charges apply until officers reach client premises, with emergency services contacted as required while minimising disruption to property owners.

Following a recent alarm activation by my coleague, Henry Hoover, who had fallen over in the kitchen at work during the evening, I was pleased to receive an immediate call from Tower Security advising me that everything was in order.
