Security for offices and multi-let buildings
An office needs to be open to the right people and closed to everyone else, and most problems happen at the edges.
Where offices go wrong
The side door held open. The visitor nobody signed in. The contractor at the weekend. The leaver who still has a fob. None of these is dramatic, and each can be fixed with a written process and someone checking that it is followed.
What usually matters
- Visitor sign-in and reception cover
- Deliveries and contractors
- Out-of-hours access
- Shared entrances in multi-let buildings
- Who holds keys and fobs, and how that is kept up to date
- What happens when an alarm activates at night
What the plan can include
- An officer at reception or for evening cover (manned guarding)
- Mobile patrols to check the building and lock up
- Key holding and alarm response
- Access control and visitor procedures
- CCTV at entrances and car parks
Working with facilities managers
We write site instructions so that you can share them with landlords, tenants and your own managers. If you need particular information in reports, tell us at the start and we build it in. In a multi-let building we agree who is responsible for what, in writing, before cover begins.
Common questions
Can tenants request after-hours access?
Yes. We agree a process with you: who can request it, how it is approved and how it is recorded.
How do we keep fob and key records current?
Start with a list of who holds what. We can check it during the survey and agree how leavers and joiners are handled.
