Layered Warehouse Security Planned Around Your Site
Our warehouse security protects the stock and expensive equipment your customers rely on, with security guards on the ground and monitored security systems watching between visits, all from one provider. A warehouse full of valuable items is a prime target for theft and unauthorised access, especially when it’s quiet at night.
We build your plan around your premises’ layout and risk level plus the times you need covered, so protection matches the risk instead of a fixed package. SIA-licensed guards work alongside CCTV and access control security systems, giving you multiple layers of warehouse security solutions that support each other. Round-the-clock oversight and co-ordination comes from our National Operations Centre (NOC).
Warehouse Security Guards For Your Gate And Yard
A security guard at your gate gives your business a visible deterrent and a trained first point of contact for every arrival. As standard, our guards will:
• Control access at your gatehouse and entry points, checking delivery drivers and paperwork
• Manage traffic flow through your gate and yard, including vehicles going to loading bays
• Patrol your building and perimeter, watching for suspicious activity and checking blind spots
• Follow clear procedures and record comings and goings, so you know who’s present on site at all times
That gives you physical security that understands how your warehouse operations run, from early deliveries to final lock-up. Guards can also monitor CCTV and respond to alarms when the role calls for it.
24/7 Mobile Patrols For The Hours Your Site Is Empty
Mobile patrols give your warehouse a security presence without a static guard on your premises all night. A patrol guard visits at intervals, which suits smaller units and facilities on quiet industrial estates, where dark areas provide cover for vandalism and property damage. You decide how often visits happen and when, so patrols cover the hours your warehouse is empty.
On each visit, guards can sign in with RFID scanners and check doors and your perimeter fencing, looking for signs of forced entry. Patrols go well with keyholding and alarm response, so a guard can attend if your alarms trigger between visits.
Warehouse CCTV Monitored Live Around The Clock
Remote CCTV monitoring means trained operators watch your cameras in real-time. When CCTV or alarms pick up suspicious activity, SIA-trained operatives at our National Operation Centre assess it and organise a fast response to protect your property and assets. Monitoring runs day and night, 365 days a year, so your warehouse security systems are watched even while your team is away.
Camera positions are planned around your loading bays and large perimeters, with blind spots addressed so there are no gaps to exploit. CCTV cameras also give you footage for police investigations and insurance claims. When CCTV and access control are planned together, each entry record can be matched to an image, making systems more useful.
Access Control That Only Lets Authorised People In
Access control security systems stop unauthorised access by deciding who can enter your warehouse and which doors they can use. You can choose access control methods including:
• ID badges and fobs for staff and regular visitors at every access point
• Facial recognition and biometric scanning for high-value stock rooms and restricted areas
• Controls on external and internal doors, so access points inside your facility are secure
• An early warning whenever someone attempts to enter an area they’re not cleared for
Electronic access control systems keep an auditable record of every entry, which helps when you investigate internal shrinkage or staff theft. Role-based permissions allow you to restrict who can access certain areas based on their jobs, with regular reviews as teams change so your system stays up to date.

Still got a Question?The cost of warehouse security depends on the services you combine and how much cover your assets need, so each quote is priced for your site rather than set at a fixed rate. The biggest factor is how many guarded hours you need each week, followed by the size and risk level of your premises. Adding security systems like CCTV or access control also adds to the price.
How quickly cover starts depends on what your site needs and whether we’re taking over from an existing provider. If you’ve just had a break-in or a provider has let you down, call Sales on 0808 175 4281 to discuss urgent cover. Keyholding and lock and unlock services respond at any time of day, and our NOC operates 24/7/365, so alarms that occur overnight are never left waiting for the morning.
Many warehouses need both, because guards and CCTV protect against different risks. Security guards give you a visible deterrent and can deal with people face to face at the gate. Plus, busy yards are demanding environments that need experienced security professionals. CCTV watches every camera position at once and flags suspicious activity to our NOC around the clock.
No fixed number of CCTV cameras suits every warehouse. The number of entry points along with blind spots that racking can create inside your building are all factors to consider. A facility with large perimeters and busy yard needs more cameras than a compact unit with one shutter. Our team can walk you through the number of CCTV cameras your site needs and where they should be positioned to give you complete coverage.
We provide security solutions for warehouses of every size, from a small storage locker to a multi-building warehouse complex with complex security risks. ProFM Group operate across the country, so you get the same standard of support wherever you are.
