Trusted Protection in Stoke Bishop
Some security requests in Stoke Bishop arrive with no notice at all: a burgled office with a broken rear door, a void house the owner has just learned is empty, an alarm on a unit at Avonbridge Trading Estate after midnight. Eighty of the 160 people on our register within 10 miles hold an active SIA licence, and our control room answers at any hour, so emergency guarding, boarding watch and key holding can be organised at weekends and overnight as well as in the working week.

Behind any urgent booking sits the same standard as a planned one. Officers are BS 7858 screened and on PAYE, they book on by GPS so you can see when cover started, and each shift ends with a digital report. With 80 licensed officers active for shifts nearby, replacements come from people who already live around Bristol.
Within 5km sit the Redgrave Theatre, The Orpheus Cinema, the Alma Tavern Theatre and Bristol Manor Farm Football Club's stadium.
