When you need a visible, reliable, and accountable security presence, All Cover Services Limited supplies professional, SIA-licensed Manned Guards to protect people, property, and reputation across the UK. Our officers deter threats, control access, and respond quickly to incidents—providing calm authority on site 24/7. From corporate offices and logistics hubs to construction sites and vacant buildings, we tailor our guarding model to your risks, policies, and operating hours.
Every location is different. We begin with a site survey and risk assessment, agree clear Assignment Instructions (AIs), and then deploy trained officers with the right skills and equipment for your environment. Supervisors conduct regular checks, daily activity and incident logs are maintained, and KPIs are reviewed with you at set intervals for measurable performance and continuous improvement.
What Our Manned Guarding Covers
Our static and reception/gatehouse officers deliver a comprehensive on-site security service, including:
- Access Control: staff and visitor verification, pass management, tailgating prevention, and delivery/contractor checks.
- Perimeter & Internal Patrols: deterrent patrols, hotspot monitoring, and documented checks at agreed intervals.
- Control Room & CCTV Support: camera observation, alarm acknowledgement, and evidence preservation in line with policy.
- Incident Response & Escalation: proportionate interventions, initial containment, and liaison with management/blue-light services.
- Lock/Unlock & Key Management: secure open/close routines, key issue logs, and controlled access to restricted areas.
- Contractor & Permit Oversight: RAMS/permit checks as policy dictates, escorting, and toolbox-talk compliance.
- H&S & Welfare: hazard reporting, fire panel liaison, first-aiders/fire marshals (where requested), and muster point control.
- Customer Service: reception cover, switchboard support, wayfinding, and professional front-of-house conduct.
- Reporting & Evidence: Daily Occurrence Book (DOB), digital incident logs, statements, and photo/video markers where approved.
Sectors We Support
We provide manned guarding for single and multi-site portfolios nationwide:
- Corporate & Multi-Tenant Offices: reception/gatehouse posts, loading bay control, and car-park oversight.
- Logistics, Warehousing & Industrial: vehicle screening, yard patrols, and out-of-hours supervision.
- Construction & Infrastructure: compound guarding, asset protection, and night security during build phases.
- Retail Parks & Shopping Centres: mall patrols, service corridor control, and control-room assistance.
- Education, Healthcare & Public Buildings: safeguarding-aware officers with a calm, service-led approach.
- Vacant & High-Risk Properties: access prevention, anti-vandal patrols, and rapid escalation routes.
How We Work
A consistent, auditable process for dependable outcomes:
- 1) Survey & Risk Profile: assess threats, hours, traffic patterns, and critical assets.
- 2) Assignment Instructions: post orders, patrol routes, comms, escalation, emergency actions, and KPI targets.
- 3) Role-Matched Deployment: SIA-licensed officers briefed on site rules, brand standards, and key hazards.
- 4) Supervision & Quality Checks: announced/unannounced visits, welfare checks, and service audits.
- 5) Reporting & Reviews: DOB/digital logs, incident stats, SLA/KPI reviews, and improvement actions.
Training, Vetting & Standards
Our officers are SIA-licensed and vetted in line with UK best practice (including screening to BS 7858). Static guarding follows the principles of BS 7499, with additional modules in conflict management, de-escalation, statement taking, and evidence handling. 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.
Technology & Integration
We integrate with your systems for complete transparency: access control, ANPR (where installed), CCTV, radio networks, lone-worker devices, and digital patrol verification. Where policy permits, body-worn video (BWV) is used to support proportionate, accountable interventions. Time-and-attendance, incident apps, and dashboard reporting give you a clear, real-time view of service performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many guards will we need?
We size the team after a survey and risk assessment, considering site footprint, operating hours, access points, and incident history. We’ll recommend options with cost/coverage trade-offs.
Can you mobilise at short notice?
Yes. We keep standby capacity for urgent requirements and can provide interim cover while a full solution is finalised.
Do guards carry weapons?
No. In the UK, our officers are unarmed. We rely on training, procedures, communications, and—where approved—technology such as BWV.
Can we combine manned guarding with mobile patrols?
Absolutely. Many clients blend a core guarding presence with scheduled mobile checks to optimise coverage and cost.
