Corporate Security Services
SIA-Licensed Guards and Front of House Teams, UK-Wide
Corporate security from Double Check Security Group covers SIA-licensed office guards and front of house and concierge teams for commercial buildings across the UK.
UK based, we handle guarding, reception cover, and access control. Every contract starts with a free security assessment.
Sectors Covered
Which Buildings Do We Protect?
We work across corporate settings, and we match the officer to the building. Our clients include Montagu Evans, The Geological Society, and Wandsworth Council, and we cover head offices, multi-tenant and managed buildings, professional and financial firms, and public sector premises. Each one has different risks, so each one gets a plan built around it.
Corporate Security Guarding
What Does Corporate Security Guarding Involve?
Most corporate risk is quiet. A tailgater through a door held open. A contractor nobody signed in. A building left unlocked after the last person leaves. Our guards close those gaps.
An officer on site controls who comes in and who does not. They check identity, manage contractors and deliveries, and keep unauthorised people out of the areas that matter, because a visible presence deters the opportunist before anything happens.
The job does not stop at the front door. Our guards patrol the floors, watch for anything out of place, and handle the first response to an incident while your team stays focused on work. At the end of the day, they lock the building down properly.
Every officer holds a current SIA licence and is vetted to the BS7858 standard, which means full checks on identity, work history, and criminal record before they start on your site.
Front of House & Concierge
What Is Front of House and Concierge Security?
A receptionist welcomes people. A guard protects the building. Front of house does both at once, and that is what makes it work for a corporate space.
Our front of house officers greet visitors, sign them in, and point them the right way, all with the polish your reception deserves. At the same time, they watch access, manage contractors and deliveries, and step in the moment something is not right.
This suits any building where first impressions matter as much as safety: head offices, multi-tenant buildings, and professional firms. Your visitors meet a calm, well-presented professional. You get security that never looks like security.
We select these officers for how they handle people, then train them for the security side. The result is one person doing two jobs well, which is often better value than splitting the roles.

Clear answers on cover, cost and what our corporate security guards and front of house officers can do for you.
020 3794 8182
What is the difference between a security guard and a front of house officer?
A guard focuses on protecting the building. A front of house officer does that and handles reception too, welcoming visitors and managing access in one role. Many offices choose front of house because it covers both jobs with one person.
What does a corporate security officer do?
A corporate security officer controls access, signs in visitors and contractors, patrols the building, and responds first to any incident. They also lock the building down safely out of hours. The aim is to keep your staff safe and your operations running.
Are your officers SIA licensed?
Yes. Every officer holds a current Security Industry Authority licence and is vetted to the BS7858 standard. We are also an SIA Approved Contractor, which is the highest quality mark in the industry.
Can you cover more than one site or out of hours?
Yes. We provide cover across multiple buildings and around the clock, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Tell us your pattern and we will build the cover around it.
How quickly can you provide cover?
It depends on your needs and location, but we move fast. Book a free assessment and we will tell you honestly how soon we can start.
How much does corporate security cost in the UK?
Corporate security typically costs between £20 and £28 per hour, excluding VAT. The exact price within that range depends on a few things, including the type of officer you need, whether that is a security guard, a front of house officer, or both, your building's size and risk level, the hours and days you need covered, and the length of the contract. A free assessment gives you an accurate, itemised quote for your building.
How much does a corporate security officer get paid?
Corporate security and front of house officers in the UK typically earn around £14 per hour outside London, rising to between £16 and £18 per hour for many corporate roles in London, reflecting the extra responsibility of reception and visitor management in city centre buildings.
