Gatehouse and access control

The gate is where security is actually decided. Everything past it is damage limitation. Our gatehouse and access control officers decide who enters, log what arrives, and give you a record that stands up to an audit.

What our gatehouse officers control

Controlled entry and exit

Vehicles, visitors and deliveries verified against expected schedules before the barrier lifts.

Auditable site log

A complete, timestamped record of everyone on site, essential for fire roll call and incident investigation.

Delivery coordination

Booking-in procedures that stop congestion at the gate and keep the yard moving.

Vehicle screening

Load checks and outbound verification where theft from the yard is a known risk.

How it works

  • Free site survey. A security consultant walks your premises, or reviews plans and imagery when you need cover today. No charge, no obligation.
  • Written risk assessment. You get a documented assessment of your actual weak points, not a list of everything we sell.
  • Fixed, itemised quote. One price, broken down, with no uplift for nights, weekends or bank holidays. What we quote is what you pay.
  • Vetted officers on site. BS7858 screened, SIA licensed officers inducted on your premises, with a named account manager from day one.

Gatehouse & Access Control questions

Can gatehouse officers operate our existing barrier and ANPR system?

Yes. Officers are inducted on your specific access control, ANPR and barrier systems and can operate visitor management software you already use.

Do you provide fire roll call support?

Yes. Because the gatehouse holds the live on-site record, our officers are usually the fastest route to an accurate roll call during an evacuation.

How much does a gatehouse officer cost?

Gatehouse cover is priced by the hours the gate is manned, and it often replaces a receptionist as well as a guard. We quote a fixed rate that holds through nights, weekends and bank holidays.

Can gatehouse officers manage deliveries and contractor sign-in?

Yes. Booking contractors in, checking vehicles, issuing passes and keeping the visitor log are part of the role, and that record is what stands up when somebody asks who was on site.
