Security Night Watchmen have a long tradition of providing security deterrent and management, protecting the property, assets and its occupants.

​

In recent years, this role was often extended to include Emergency Walking Fire Watch to ensure that occupied residential properties are safe!

​

Typically, a nightwatchman will make foot patrols of premises but also monitors the CCTV cameras for any suspicious activities. They are a constant deterrent against intruders and can summon assistance very swiftly to deal with any issues arising.

​

Overnight security guards remain one of the most effective measures to ensure the protection of your premises and personnel.

​

Today, a property or facilities manager can hire night watch security guards, to protect premises in the UK, from Property Security Group Limited (PSG). These SIA-licensed security officers are well trained and supported by local supervisors and management. They make regular check calls to PSG’s 24hr Control Room to ensure their welfare and diligence.

​

At weekends and on Bank Holidays, the security guarding cover can be extended to a Security Concierge role during the daytime. Whilst this would primarily be a security role it could also include supervising contractors, supporting lone workers on site, receiving deliveries etc.

​

Nightwatchman duties are not confined to internal roles. They are often deployed as gatekeepers at industrial premises, as guards for car compounds, construction site security guarding, security for List X premises, as security nightwatchmen for factories, warehouse security guards, protecting country estates, overnight security for residential properties, business park security – and a whole host of other deployments.
