Corporate, Construction & Vacant Building Security
All Cover Services Limited provides professional, SIA-licensed protection for corporate offices and campuses, active construction sites, and vacant/void properties across the UK. Our officers deter intruders, control access, and respond quickly to incidents—safeguarding people, assets, plant, and reputation. From gatehouse posts and turnstile control to out-of-hours patrols and void-property inspections, we tailor our security plan to your risks, insurer expectations, and operational realities.
Each environment presents distinct challenges. Corporate locations require a brand-safe welcome and tight back-of-house control; construction sites combat theft of plant and materials while managing contractors and deliveries; vacant buildings face heightened risks of trespass, vandalism, theft, and arson. We address these with a structured survey, clear Assignment Instructions (AIs), trained officers, and transparent reporting so you can demonstrate compliance and value.
Environments We Secure
Our teams operate single-site and multi-site portfolios nationwide:
- Corporate & Multi-Tenant Offices: reception/gatehouse, loading bays, car parks, and control rooms.
- Construction & Infrastructure: compounds, laydown areas, welfare cabins, scaffolds, and plant/equipment stores.
- Vacant & Void Properties: commercial, industrial, and residential buildings awaiting sale, let, or redevelopment.
- Business & Retail Parks: perimeter patrols, ANPR/vehicle checks (where installed), and shared-access oversight.
- Logistics & Warehousing: yard control, trailer lines, and out-of-hours access verification.
What Our Security Covers
We design an integrated guarding plan with defined roles, escalation routes, and evidence-ready documentation:
- Access Control & Gatehouse: verification of staff, visitors, and contractors; pass issue/returns; tailgating prevention; vehicle screening.
- Perimeter & Internal Patrols: time-stamped checks of fences, doors, windows, scaffolding, plant rooms, and high-value zones.
- Control Room & CCTV Support: camera observation, alarm acknowledgement, and incident tagging in line with policy and UK GDPR.
- Deliveries & Contractor Management: RAMS/permit checks (as policy dictates), escorting, and back-of-house access control.
- Incident Response & Escalation: proportionate interventions, scene preservation, and liaison with management/blue-light services.
- Lock/Unlock, Keyholding & Alarm Response: secure open/close routines, code handling, and out-of-hours callouts (where contracted).
- Void Property Inspections: scheduled external and internal checks with photo-evidenced reports for insurers and asset managers.
- H&S & Fire Safety Support: hazard reporting, muster point control, and fire panel liaison; first-aid/fire marshal cover on request.
Specialist Focus Areas
Corporate Sites
Reception/gatehouse teams blend hospitality with vigilance. We enforce badge policies, support visitor management systems, manage loading bays, and keep car parks orderly—all while protecting brand image and safeguarding staff and visitors.
Construction Sites
We deter opportunistic theft of plant, tools, cabling, and fuel through visible patrols, verified checkpoint rounds, and controlled access to compounds. Officers work alongside your principal contractor and follow site rules and welfare protocols to keep operations smooth and safe.
Vacant & Void Buildings
Unoccupied assets are vulnerable to trespass, vandalism, and arson. Our void-property program combines external and internal inspections, meter/utility observations (where requested), rapid re-secure after incidents, and liaison with board-up/alarms partners when required.
How We Work
A consistent, audit-ready process ensures control and accountability:
- 1) Site Survey & Risk Profile: threats, hours, access routes, neighbouring risks, recent incidents, and insurer conditions.
- 2) Assignment Instructions (AIs): post orders, patrol routes, escalation tree, emergency actions, and KPI/SLA targets.
- 3) Role-Matched Deployment: SIA-licensed officers briefed on site hazards, brand standards, and contractor rules.
- 4) Supervision & Quality Checks: scheduled and unannounced visits, welfare checks, and service audits.
- 5) Reporting & Reviews: Daily Occurrence Book (DOB) and digital logs, incident stats, and continuous-improvement actions.
Compliance, Vetting & Standards
Our officers are SIA-licensed and vetted to UK best practice (screening aligned to BS 7858). Static guarding follows principles of BS 7499; where keyholding/alarm response is included, controls align with BS 7984. We operate under UK GDPR, equality and diversity policies, and your site-specific procedures. Optional competencies include first aid, fire marshal, and ACT (Counter-Terror) Awareness. Where a principal contractor requires it, we can supply officers who hold valid CSCS cards.
Technology & Integration
We integrate with your building/site systems: access control, turnstiles, ANPR (where installed), CCTV, and radio networks. Patrols are verified with GPS/NFC checkpoints and supported by digital reports (time-stamped logs, photos, incident codes, follow-ups). Where policy permits, body-worn video (BWV) adds evidential assurance. For vacant or remote assets, we can work alongside temporary alarms or mobile CCTV towers via approved partners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you mobilise quickly for a new build or newly vacated site?
Yes. After an express survey and AI agreement, we can deploy at short notice. Interim cover is available while full controls are finalised.
Do your officers need CSCS for construction sites?
Requirements vary by principal contractor. Where CSCS is required, we can assign officers who hold valid cards and complete site induction.
Can you combine guarding with mobile patrols and keyholding?
Absolutely. Many clients blend a core on-site presence with patrols and out-of-hours alarm response to optimise coverage and cost.
What evidence do insurers need for void properties?
Typically time-stamped inspection reports with photos and notes on access points, utilities, and damage. We supply audit-ready documentation.
