Warehouse and distribution centre security

Most warehouse loss is not a break-in. It leaves through the goods-out door in ones and twos. Our warehouse security covers the perimeter and the process, across distribution centres in London, Essex and nationwide.

Where warehouse security actually earns its keep

Stock loss prevention

Controls at goods-in and goods-out where discrepancy actually originates, not just perimeter cover.

Staff and contractor screening

Bag checks and exit procedures applied consistently and lawfully, without singling individuals out.

Perimeter and dock security

Loading bays are the most exposed point of any warehouse. Officers keep dock doors controlled and monitored.

Out-of-hours cover

Static or patrol cover during shutdown periods, weekends and holidays when facilities sit full and empty.

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.

Warehouse Security questions

Can you conduct staff bag searches?

Yes, where your employment contracts and search policy permit it. We apply searches consistently and lawfully, and document the procedure to protect you from discrimination claims.

Do you cover shutdown periods only?

Yes. Many warehouse clients use us purely for Christmas shutdowns, bank holidays and stock-take weekends.

How much does warehouse security cost?

Pricing follows the size of the site, the hours covered and whether you need gate control as well as patrols. We survey the perimeter and the goods-out process before quoting, because the second one is usually where the loss is.

Can security help with internal theft as well as break-ins?

Yes. Gate checks, loading bay supervision and logged vehicle movements are what catch stock leaving in ones and twos, which is where most warehouse loss comes from.
