If a unit on Upton Industrial Estate is broken into or a shutter fails at the end of the day, we can arrange alarm response, key holding and a temporary guard to keep the premises secure.
Trusted Protection in Upton
Some security needs cannot wait for a tender. A forced door, a failed alarm panel or a site that suddenly can't be locked all call for cover arranged at short notice. Around Upton we handle those situations with alarm response, key holding and temporary guarding, coordinated from our 24/7 control room. The six industrial estates within 5km, including Creekmoor, Fleet and Nuffield, are where these calls tend to matter most.
