Welcome to
BSS Manned Guarding
Professional People. Protection Tailored to Your Premises.
Bridge Security Solutions provides manned guarding for properties, businesses and sites across the UK. From construction sites and industrial premises to luxury residences and busy commercial buildings, we match the personnel, presentation and level of security to each assignment.
Our people are central to the service we deliver. Our security officers are SIA-licensed, screened before deployment and selected for their suitability for the role. Whether you need a single officer, a supervised security team or specialist dog handlers, we build the service around your premises, risks and daily activities.
We provide scheduled, temporary and round-the-clock cover, supported by our 24-hour control room and regional operational teams. Clear assignment instructions, reporting arrangements and escalation procedures help our officers deliver a consistent, professional service.
Who We Help
From Construction Sites to Luxury Residences
Different environments require different approaches. Some need a highly visible security presence; others call for discreet protection, confident communication and a welcoming manner.
- Construction and development sites — protecting materials, equipment and site boundaries, with access control and security during working hours, overnight and at weekends.
- Industrial premises and utilities — supporting factories, warehouses, depots and operational sites with gatehouse security, patrols and controlled access.
- Commercial buildings and retail premises — providing a professional presence for offices, business parks, shops and mixed-use developments.
- Luxury residences and private estates — delivering discreet, well-presented security that respects residents’ privacy and the standards of their surroundings.
- Residential developments and managed estates — helping maintain secure, welcoming communal areas and supporting residents, visitors and site management teams.
- Supported housing providers — supplying officers suited to sensitive residential settings, combining empathy and respectful engagement with clear procedures and professional boundaries.
- Events, venues and licensed premises — providing security personnel, door supervisors and stewards appropriate to the event and audience.
- Vacant properties and sites awaiting development — maintaining a visible presence and identifying signs of unauthorised access, damage or other concerns.
Our Services
We tailor staffing levels, duties, uniforms and supervision to your requirements, from individual guarding assignments to coordinated teams across multiple sites.
Static Guarding and Site Security
Providing officers at agreed locations to monitor activity, protect access points and respond to concerns. Cover can include daytime operations, overnight protection or a continuous presence throughout the year.
Security Teams and Site Supervision
Supplying individual officers, experienced supervisors and coordinated guarding teams according to the scale and complexity of your site. Clear responsibilities and handovers help maintain continuity across shifts.
Gatehouse and Access Control
Managing entry and exit procedures for staff, visitors, contractors and deliveries. Officers check authorisation, maintain records and follow your site instructions to keep access organised and controlled.
Foot Patrols and Building Checks
Carrying out scheduled or varied patrols of buildings, boundaries, communal areas and external spaces. Officers report security concerns, visible damage and maintenance issues, with findings passed to the appropriate team.
Security Dog Handlers and Patrol Dogs
Providing trained dog handlers and patrol dogs where a more visible deterrent is appropriate. Dog teams can support guarding at construction sites, industrial premises, vacant properties and extensive outdoor locations, with deployment planned around site risks and the people using the premises.
Luxury Residential and Discreet Security
Supplying well-presented officers who combine vigilance with discretion and courteous communication. Duties are tailored to private residences and premium developments, with particular attention to privacy, access arrangements and resident expectations.
Public-Facing and Residential Security
Providing approachable officers who can engage confidently with residents, occupiers and visitors while maintaining security procedures. Where a dedicated reception service is required, guarding can be coordinated with our separate concierge and front-of-house offering.
Supported Housing Security
Selecting officers suited to environments where residents may have additional support needs. Our approach combines calm communication, empathy and adherence to site procedures, working alongside the client’s housing and support teams.
Event Security, Door Supervision and Stewarding
Providing personnel for public and private events, licensed premises and venues. Our experience includes film premières, fashion shows and stewarding for high-profile football clubs, with roles and staffing tailored to each assignment.
Fire Marshal and Waking Watch Cover
Providing suitably trained personnel for agreed fire marshal or waking watch duties, in line with the site’s fire safety arrangements and assignment requirements.
Temporary Cover and Rapid Deployment
Arranging suitably matched personnel for urgent requirements, staff absences, short-term assignments and changing site needs. We also support mobilisation across multiple UK locations.
Control Room Support and Incident Response
Our 24-hour control room supports deployed officers with communication, escalation and coordination of additional assistance. Officers follow agreed procedures, record incidents and liaise with site management or emergency services when required.
Site Surveys and Security Planning
Our security consultants review your premises, activities and concerns to recommend an appropriate, cost-effective guarding solution. Manned guarding can also be coordinated with Bridge’s mobile patrols, keyholding, CCTV and remote monitoring services.
The Right Officers. The Right Level of Cover.
