Construction security for sites that stop at six.

Overnight and weekend cover that prevents theft, vandalism and unauthorised access on active and dormant sites — with the access records your principal contractor and insurer will ask for.

The exposure is plant and copper, and it is expensive

Construction theft concentrates on the things that are quick to move and easy to sell: plant, power tools, cable, copper and fuel. The loss is rarely just the replacement cost — it is the programme delay while a replacement is sourced, which is usually the larger number.

Cover is therefore built around the hours the site is empty and the points where a perimeter is weakest, rather than a uniform presence that costs more and deters less.

Active sites and dormant sites are different problems

An active site needs access logging, delivery supervision and a handover at close of works. Contractors, deliveries and subcontractor teams all move through it, and the record of who was on site matters as much as the deterrence.

A dormant or paused site is closer to vacant property: the risks are squatting, fly-tipping, metal theft and undocumented deterioration. Documented inspections become the priority, because that is what an insurer will want to see.

Working with contractors, not against them

We cover live sites for main contractors including Vascroft, across build programmes rather than one-off nights. That means fitting the site's own procedures — sign-in systems, permit regimes, site rules and the principal contractor's reporting requirements — rather than imposing a parallel process.

Patrol reports and access logs are available the same evening, which is generally when a site manager wants them rather than the following month.

Questions, answered.

Do you cover sites outside working hours only?
That is the most common arrangement — overnight, weekend and holiday cover when the site is empty. Full-time cover including daytime access control is available where the programme requires it.
Can you secure a site that has been paused indefinitely?
Yes. A paused site is handled closer to vacant property: scheduled documented inspections, perimeter integrity checks and condition reporting, which is what insurers look for when a site is unoccupied for an extended period.
Can you supply K9 units for construction sites?
Yes. Large perimeters and high-value plant are among the strongest cases for handler and dog teams, and construction is one of the main settings where we deploy them.
