Emergency and short-notice cover in Aldershot

Some security needs can be planned months ahead; others arrive with a phone call at 2am. For Aldershot firms we offer both. Emergency guards can be booked to hold a damaged site until it is made good, key holders attend alarm activations so you do not have to, and temporary cover fills gaps when your own arrangements fall through. All requests go through our in-house 24/7 control room, which keeps a record of every step.

Aldershot Business Profile

Rushmoor's firms and our local officers

Ten security workers in our network live within 10 miles of Aldershot, and 5 of them carry a current SIA licence and are active for shifts. Each has been vetted to BS 7858 and is paid through PAYE. When they book on, GPS confirms the location and a digital report follows each patrol or attendance.

Rushmoor has about 3,380 registered businesses, led by construction on 615, professional services on 475 and tech and communications on 325. Construction runs at 18.2% of local firms against 14.1% nationally, and tech at 9.6% against 7.0%. That leaves building sites wanting towers and overnight patrols, and offices or data rooms needing access control and monitored CCTV.
