When a full-time on-site guard isn’t required but you still need a strong, visible deterrent, All Cover Services Limited delivers professional, SIA-licensed Mobile Security Patrols across the UK. Our patrol officers conduct scheduled and randomized visits to your premises—checking doors, windows, and perimeter lines; responding to alarms; and documenting every action with time-stamped, photo-enabled reports. The result is cost-effective protection that reduces risk, prevents opportunistic crime, and provides peace of mind day and night.
Mobile patrols are ideal for multi-site portfolios, out-of-hours operations, large external areas, and properties that fluctuate between busy and quiet periods. We tailor frequency, timing, and scope to your risk profile, then verify every visit through GPS/NFC checkpoints and digital reporting. Our service can be combined with keyholding & alarm response for a complete out-of-hours solution in line with UK best practice (including BS 7499 for guarding & mobile patrols and BS 7984 for keyholding & alarm response).
What Our Mobile Patrols Cover
Patrols are customised by site and may include the following checks and controls:
- Perimeter & Grounds: boundary fences/walls, gates, lighting, CCTV housings, and signs reviewed for damage or tampering.
- Doors, Windows & Access Points: physical checks for forced entry, insecure locks, and signs of attempted breach.
- Internal Walk-Throughs (where authorised): reception, corridors, plant rooms, stock areas, and sensitive spaces verified.
- Plant & Asset Protection: compounds, generators, scaffolding, fuel stores, and high-value equipment observed and logged.
- H&S & Facilities: leaks, fire doors, hazards, power anomalies, and environmental issues escalated per procedure.
- Car-Park & External Areas: fly-tipping, loitering, antisocial behaviour, and unauthorised vehicles addressed.
- Lock/Unlock & Alarm Set/Unset: secure open/close routines, zone checks, and alarm panel interaction (as authorised).
- Welfare & Lone-Worker Checks: on request for your staff working late or in isolation.
Patrol Options & Frequency
We offer a flexible menu to match risk and budget. Visits can be scheduled at fixed times (e.g., early evening, midnight, pre-open) or randomised to remove predictability. Choose drive-by observation, foot patrols, or blended internal/external checks. Nightly coverage, weekend-only, and seasonal uplift models are available; we can also scale up after incidents or for known risk periods (e.g., construction milestones, inventory turns, or holiday peaks).
Keyholding & Alarm Response
Combine patrols with our Keyholding & Alarm Response for complete out-of-hours resilience. We hold keys/codes securely, attend alarm activations, conduct a full sweep, liaise with emergency services where required, and re-secure the site. This reduces call-outs to your staff, shortens response times, and ensures incidents are handled by trained professionals with clear escalation protocols and evidence-ready reporting (aligned with BS 7984).
Sectors & Sites We Protect
Mobile patrols are effective for a broad range of environments:
- Business & Retail Parks: large external areas, multiple units, shared access roads, and car-parks.
- Warehousing & Logistics: yards, loading bays, trailer lines, and perimeter integrity.
- Construction & Infrastructure: compounds, scaffolds, plant, and materials during build phases.
- Corporate & Multi-Tenant Offices: out-of-hours checks, lock/unlock routines, and alarm response.
- Education & Healthcare: campus perimeters and building checks when vacant or reduced occupancy.
- Residential & Estate Management: communal areas, parking decks, bin stores, and nuisance prevention.
- Vacant & High-Risk Properties: anti-trespass, anti-vandal measures, and rapid re-secure after incidents.
Technology, Reporting & Transparency
Every visit is verified through GPS/NFC checkpoints and supported by digital patrol reports that can include time-stamps, photos, incident codes, and follow-up actions. Where approved, body-worn video (BWV) adds further assurance. You receive regular summaries and KPI dashboards showing visit compliance, incident trends, and recommendations—so value is visible and auditable.
How We Work
A structured, audit-ready process ensures consistency and control:
- 1) Survey & Risk Profile: site layout, recent incidents, local intelligence, alarm protocols, and critical assets.
- 2) Patrol Plan & AIs: checkpoints, visit frequency, lock/unlock routines, alarm procedures, and escalation tree.
- 3) Mobilisation: key/codes onboarding, comms testing, officer induction, and stakeholder contacts.
- 4) Live Operations: scheduled/randomised patrols with GPS/NFC verification and digital logs.
- 5) Review & Optimise: KPI reviews, incident analysis, and seasonal adjustments to frequency/routes.
Training, Vetting & Standards
Our patrol officers are SIA-licensed and vetted (screening to BS 7858). Operations follow principles of BS 7499 (guarding & mobile patrols) and, where keyholding is included, BS 7984. Teams are trained in conflict management, dynamic risk assessment, statement taking, and evidence handling—supported by lone-worker protections and vehicle safety policies.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many visits do we need each night?
It depends on risk, location, incident history, and site size. We’ll propose options (e.g., 2–4 visits) with cost/coverage trade-offs and can increase temporarily after incidents.
Do you hold keys and alarm codes securely?
Yes. Keyholding and alarm response are managed under documented controls aligned with BS 7984, including secure storage, access logs, and authorisation lists.
Will patrols be at the same time each visit?
We recommend a blend of fixed and randomized times. Randomisation removes predictability and strengthens deterrence.
Can we combine patrols with a part-time on-site guard?
Absolutely. Many clients run a small on-site presence during peak hours and rely on mobile patrols and alarm response overnight or at weekends to control costs.
