Builders and advisers dominate Redhill's commercial life: construction and professional services together account for well over a third of Reigate and Banstead's 6,950 businesses. Our guarding, patrols and key holding are shaped around that split.
Trusted Protection in Redhill
Look at who trades around Redhill and two groups stand out. Professional services number 1,370 firms, or 19.7% against a national 15.6%, and construction has 1,300, which is 18.7% compared with 14.1%. Offices want reception officers, key holding and someone to answer an alarm in the small hours. Building contractors want plant guarded, CCTV towers on open ground and patrols when the site is shut. We cover both, along with the shops of the town centre.
Redhill Business Profile
Eighty people on our books have homes within 10 miles of Redhill. Thirty of those carry a valid SIA badge and take bookings, and 20 drive, which matters for routes linking offices, yards and the business parks at Kingsfield, Salbrook Road and Chesterfield. BS 7858 screening and PAYE employment apply to all of them, and each shift starts with a GPS book-on.
Business services add a further 655 firms to the mix. That variety means one contract might combine a concierge at a Wells Place office, alarm response for a precision engineering works and a CCTV tower at a building plot. Our 24/7 control room links these pieces, logs each visit and sends digital reports, so a client with several premises sees them in one place.
The Harlequin theatre, The Light cinema and Q's Entertainment draw evening crowds within 5km. Martyn's Law will reach any venue holding 200 or more when it begins, and door supervisors, stewards and search routines can be supplied to suit. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Yes. Construction makes up 18.7% of Reigate and Banstead businesses, comfortably ahead of 14.1% for Britain as a whole. A guard on the gate, a CCTV tower over the compound and night patrols together deter theft of plant and materials, all logged through GPS book-on.
