Services
Security and facilities services
Each service can be contracted on its own or combined into a single arrangement. All cover is planned around a review of your site.
Manned guarding
Uniformed officers who control access, patrol the premises and deal calmly with the people who use your site.

- Site-specific assignment instructions
Mobile patrols & keyholding
Scheduled visits and a named keyholder for premises that do not need an officer on site around the clock.
- Lock and unlock
- Alarm response
- Vacant property inspections
CCTV & site monitoring
Camera monitoring that supports officers on the ground. Alerts are reviewed by a trained operator before anyone is asked to respond.
- Operator-verified alerts

- Incident records you can audit
Front of house security
Reception and concierge officers for offices and managed buildings, where security also has to be welcoming.

Facilities support
Cleaning and soft services delivered alongside security, with one contract manager responsible for both.
- Routine and periodic cleaning

Our approach
Good security is planned, supervised and accountable.
Most security failures come down to unclear instructions and poor supervision. We start with the site, the people who use it and the risks that would disrupt your business, then put the agreed cover in writing.
From a single dog unit to combined guarding and facilities support, you have one team responsible for the standard of service.
Discuss your siteA named contact
You deal with one person who knows your site, not a call queue.
Written assignment instructions
Duties, patrol routes and escalation steps agreed with you before the first shift.
Reporting you can use
Patrol records and incident reports in plain language, sent when you need them.
Security and FM together
One supplier and one line of accountability for guarding and facilities support.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Something else you need to know? Call 07727 640894 or email harvey@boltk9.co.uk.
Are your officers SIA licensed?
Yes. Every officer we deploy in a licensable role holds the appropriate Security Industry Authority licence, and we can confirm licence details for your site team before mobilisation.
Can you provide cover at short notice?
Often, yes. Call us with the location, the hours you need and the immediate risk. We will tell you plainly what we can provide and how quickly.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Erith and work across London and the South East. Assignments elsewhere in the UK are considered case by case.
Is the service tailored to our site?
Every proposal starts with a site review. Cover is set out in written assignment instructions specific to your premises, rather than a standard package.
Can security and facilities support be combined?
Yes. Many clients prefer a single contract and a single manager for both, which reduces handovers and simplifies reporting.
How do you use AI in CCTV monitoring?
AI-assisted detection helps to flag people, vehicles and unusual activity on camera. It does not make decisions. A trained operator reviews each alert and is responsible for the response.
