Security guarding
ORION FACILITIES MANAGEMENT · LONDON
Security guarding gives your premises an identifiable point of contact for access, observations and incident reporting. Orion plans guarding assignments around the building, the people using it and the duties you need covered.
A guarding plan based on your premises
An office entrance, a busy gatehouse and a managed residential building have different priorities. We start by discussing how people enter and leave, what happens during the working day and where a security presence would be useful. The assignment instructions define the officer’s role, the areas covered and the limits of their responsibilities.
What the agreed service can include
- Visitor and contractor checks against your agreed access procedure
- Monitoring entrances, exits and delivery points within the assignment
- Patrols of specified accessible areas when included in the duties
- Occurrence logs, handovers and factual incident reports
- Escalating concerns to the contacts nominated for the premises
Planning the service
Tell us the property type, operating hours, number of access points and expected visitor activity. Explain any reception tasks, lone-working arrangements or restricted areas. We will discuss the coverage, breaks, handovers and reporting needed before preparing a proposal. Any additional duties should be written into the scope rather than assumed.
Responsibilities and ongoing communication
A clear handover matters when the building is busy or the assignment changes. Agree who can authorise visitors, how concerns are recorded and who receives updates. If opening hours, tenants or access routes change, the instructions should be reviewed so the service reflects the site as it operates.

Your questions answered
How does guarding differ from static security?
Guarding describes the overall security assignment. Static security focuses on an agreed location or post. The specific duties and movement around the premises are defined in your instructions.
Can guarding be combined with other services?
We can discuss mobile patrols, key holding, cleaning or scheduled opening and closing alongside the guarding requirement. Each service needs its own clear responsibilities and agreed availability.
Can you quote from an existing specification?
Yes. Share a summary of the duties, hours and location through the enquiry form. Avoid sending keys, access codes or confidential security plans in the initial enquiry.
