Our Approach to Alarm Response & Keyholding

Entrusting us as your keyholder means choosing peace of mind. Your keys are securely stored in a sealed, coded system in compliance with British Standards. When your alarm activates, our 24/7 control room is instantly notified and dispatches a local, uniformed response officer. They attend your site, conduct a thorough external and internal check, and manage the entire situation on your behalf, from liaising with police to resolving the fault and securing the premises.

Our Approach to Alarm Response & Keyholding
01

Secure Key Collection & Storage:

We collect a full set of your keys and store them in a secure, audited facility according to BS 7984 standards. Your property details are linked to a unique, anonymous code.

02

Alarm Activation & Rapid Dispatch:

When your alarm triggers, our control room receives the signal. We immediately dispatch the nearest available mobile response officer to your site.

03

On-Site Investigation & Action:

The officer arrives, assesses the situation, and conducts a full patrol to identify the cause of the activation. They will liaise with emergency services if an intrusion is confirmed.

04

Site Reset & Detailed Reporting:

The officer resets the alarm system and ensures your property is fully secure before leaving. A detailed electronic report of the activation, attendance time, and outcome is sent to you immediately.

These are the most commonly asked questions. Can't find what you're looking for?


Attending an alarm activation can be dangerous, as you may confront an intruder. It can also violate lone worker regulations and corporate manslaughter legislation if you are asking an employee to do so. Our service provides a safe, compliant, and professional alternative.


Your keys are held in a secure, unmarked facility and stored in a safe. They are identified only by a unique code, with no link to your property address on the key tag itself. This process is fully compliant with BS 7984, the British Standard for keyholding.


Our officer will not enter the premises alone if an intruder is suspected to be on-site. They will immediately notify the police and await their arrival. After the police have cleared the building, our officer will enter to assess damage, arrange any emergency repairs (like boarding up), and reset the alarm system.


Yes, while our service is primarily for commercial clients, we also offer a full residential key holding and alarm response service, providing the same level of professional protection for your home and family.
