Temporary Guarding – Short-Term Security
Short-staffed or facing a temporary security gap? Our Temporary Guarding service is the perfect solution for ad hoc security needs at any time of year. We provide flexible, short-term security guard contracts without long commitments. Whether you need a guard for a few nights, a week, or an extended period, we’ve got you covered. This service is ideal for situations like covering holiday leave, seasonal retail rushes and other busy periods, or securing your premises during a short closure.
We offer fully flexible arrangements – use our services for as long (or as short) as you need. Every client, even for a one-night job, gets support from our 24/7 contact centre to ensure smooth onboarding and quality service. Our guards integrate quickly with your team and protocols, maintaining high professionalism even for brief assignments.
Benefit: Maintain peace of mind and business continuity without obligating to long-term contracts. Protect your assets temporarily, with the same level of diligence as a full-time security detail.

-
Can you really deploy a security guard in 2 hours?
Yes – in fact, often even faster. Thanks to our network of on-call guards and regional branches, we can typically have an SIA-licensed officer on-site anywhere in England within 120 minutes of confirmation. This rapid response is available any time, day or night, including holidays.
-
What areas do you cover?
We operate nationwide across England. Whether your site is in a major city or a remote area, we have coverage. (As part of a larger security group, we also have resources across the UK, so if you have needs in Scotland, Wales, or NI, we can discuss arrangements.)
-
Is your emergency service truly 24/7/365?
Absolutely. Our control centre is staffed 24/7/365, and we always have guards on standby. You can call us at 3 AM or on December 25th – you will get an immediate response and we will begin mobilizing a guard team right away. We pride ourselves on never closing our doors to a client in need.
-
Do I need a long-term contract?
No. We offer one-off and short-term services with no long-term commitment required. You can hire a guard for a single shift or for a few weeks – it’s entirely up to your needs. Of course, if you later decide to extend or set up a longer contract, we can smoothly transition to that, but it’s not obligatory.
-
How do you ensure quality for short-term assignments?
We maintain the same high standards for every job. All guards arrive in uniform with proper briefing and equipment. An operations manager will often check in during the assignment (or even conduct on-site visits for multi-day jobs) to ensure everything is running as expected. We also gather your feedback afterward to make sure you’re 100% satisfied. Our status as an SIA Approved Contractor means we’re regularly audited on our quality and compliance.
-
What if my requirements change or I need extra guards?
Just let your account manager know – we’re very agile. Because we have a robust team, we can scale up your service on short notice. For example, if you initially book one guard but then decide you need a second patrol due to a new risk, we’ll do our best to supply additional personnel quickly.
-
How much does it cost?
Prices depend on factors like location, risk level, and hours needed. However, our rates for temporary guarding are competitive with industry standards (and often more cost-effective than paying overtime to your staff or facing a security incident). We’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote upfront. There are no surprise fees – you only pay for the agreed services.
