Gatehouse
Logging vehicles and visitors against the list you have given us, and stopping the ones who are not on it.
Industry
Industrial and warehouse security
Factories, yards and warehouses lose time and stock when the wrong person, or the wrong vehicle, gets through a gate. Professional Security Services Ltd provides industrial and warehouse security across the West Midlands: officers on gates, patrols of quiet units, and key holding when you need someone who can attend.
Two sites, two briefs
An industrial plant and a distribution warehouse share a fence line and a car park, but the working day is not the same. A plant may need a gatehouse officer who understands contractors, permits and shift change. A warehouse may care more about trailers, loading doors and who is in the yard at 2am. This page is the overview. If you already know which one you are buying, read industrial security or warehouse security.
Construction sites sit closer to industrial guarding than to office work. Where you need licensed officers on a site entrance, a compound or a quiet plot, ask us as part of this service. We do not pretend to replace a principal contractor’s own site management.
The Black Country is full of this work
From Walsall and Willenhall to Darlaston, Oldbury, Wednesbury and the estates around Wolverhampton, a lot of our enquiries are yards and units rather than shop floors. Tell us the address, the shift pattern and whether HGVs are moving at night. Mobile patrols suit a group of units. A static officer suits one busy gate.
What the assignment can include
Yard checks
Walking or driving the perimeter on an agreed pattern, including doors that should be shut.
Empty hours
Cover when production has stopped and the building is at its quietest.
Alarm attendance
Through our key holding service, where you want a trained officer rather than a member of staff called from home.
Questions
Should I choose a guard or a mobile patrol for a warehouse?
If someone needs to be at a barrier whenever vehicles move, choose a static officer. If the site is locked and you want it checked through the night, a mobile patrol or key holding is usually the better spend. We will tell you which we think fits.
Do you cover construction site security?
We can provide manned guarding for construction entrances and compounds in the West Midlands when the post is one we can staff properly. Ask us with the site address, the phase of the job and the hours.
Do you install fencing or CCTV on industrial sites?
No. We provide people: officers, patrols and key holding. We work with the gates, alarms and cameras you already operate.
