Still got a Question?This often depends on what your project is, how long it’s likely to take, as well as a range of different factors. However, as a general rule for active construction sites, we’d advise a blend of physical security (like mobile security patrols or static security presence, or a canine handler on more at-risk sites) and security technology (think mobile CCTV cameras, VPODs and Heras security fencing).
Yes. Whether you’re concerned about trespassers on your scaffolding, construction site theft or disruption to essential infrastructure projects like roadworks, ProFM can help protect sites of all kinds. We know that time is of the essence on sites of this nature, and we’ll work alongside you to mobilise quickly, effectively and with the professionalism you’d expect from the UK’s #1.
While we’d always recommend booking your security in advance, we know that it’s not always your first thought, or that emergencies can and do happen. We’re here to help, and always aim to mobilise as soon as possible, and in time for when you need it. The first step is to enquire, and let us know what you need and when you need it.
Yes. For construction projects that see substantial HGV traffic, or unusually large loads (timber frames or roofing, for example), we’re able to provide security services by officers who are fully Banksman-trained and well-versed in directing site traffic.
Construction sites are a prime target for criminals, with over 6,000 break-ins occurring annually across the UK. Combined with the high value of tools, plant and materials typically stored on-site, this contributes to nearly £1 billion lost to theft every year, before even factoring in the cost of vandalism and the resulting project delays. That’s exactly why a proactive security presence, whether that’s manned guarding, mobile patrols or CCTV, is essential rather than optional for any site.
CCTV systems provide continuous, 24/7 monitoring of a site, acting as both a visible deterrent and a way to verify incidents in real time. Beyond spotting external intruders, ongoing monitoring also helps flag unusual activity from those already on-site, which is key to preventing internal theft. Many projects also pair this with GPS-tracked equipment, so that in the rare event something is taken, it can be located and recovered quickly.
Yes. Regular risk assessments and consistent site maintenance and organisation are two of the most effective ways to manage on-site hazards, and a dedicated security presence supports both. Our officers help keep sites orderly and monitored around the clock, working alongside your existing risk assessment processes to reduce hazards and support your HSE obligations.
Often, yes. Given the value of tools and materials kept on most construction sites, insurance is a vital safeguard, but insurers increasingly expect evidence of active risk management too. Effective security planning, from CCTV and access control to manned guarding, can significantly reduce the likelihood of a claim, which in turn can help bring premiums down over time.
