Clear duties and client reporting keep the service accountable. Call 0203 668 3654 for availability and a quote.
Guard the work without losing control of the building
A refurbishment can create an extra security problem inside an otherwise functioning property. Workers use temporary access, equipment moves between floors and part of the building may remain occupied. Our canine service protects the assigned work areas and external approaches while respecting the access arrangements for the rest of the property.
Patrol duties can cover accessible doors, perimeter openings, stored materials and signs of attempted intrusion. The handler records observations and escalates incidents instead of making unauthorised changes to building controls. An officer can be added for reception or a fixed contractor entrance where that duty needs continuous presence.
You can buy cover for a short project stage or keep it through a longer programme. The quotation explains hours and responsibilities, making it easier to compare genuine service scope rather than just an hourly number.
Why versioned instructions matter on a fit-out
Yesterday's instructions may direct a handler to a door that contractors have removed today. A practical handover identifies the current route, which areas are occupied and which entrances have changed. Keeping the instruction version alongside the report helps explain why the patrol took a particular route.
Consider a project where a temporary partition separates employees from construction. The handler needs to recognise that partition as part of the working boundary and report damage or a newly opened access point. They should not infer permission to enter occupied rooms merely because the work area is nearby.
Similarly, a delivery left in a corridor is a different observation from a forced door. Describing the location, access effect and management notification gives you something actionable. When we arrange cover, our team helps connect the project schedule, entrance responsibilities and reporting contact. No completed specification is needed for the initial call.
Detection that fits a workplace policy
Trained specialist detection handlers provide drug detection dog hire for agreed searches of private premises. Scope can distinguish workspaces, stored items and other authorised areas. An employer's decision about staff procedures remains separate from the detection dog's role.
The practical benefit is an organised search with a defined reporting route. An indication is recorded and referred to the named responsible person; it should not become an automatic accusation. Search authority, staff communication and any further action belong in the agreed arrangements. Patrol handlers and specialist detection teams are booked according to their different duties.
Documents and incidents in one place
Your client portal provides incident history and shared documents. When an officer submits an incident, the report also triggers an email notification for the client. Hourly patrol photographs support the assignment record. Operations use the app, WhatsApp and email to coordinate changes, helping your contact maintain oversight without repeatedly chasing updates.
