Demolition Guardian Security
Demolition Guardian Security is a specialist trading division of Property Security Group Limited.
Demolition Site Security from a Company That Knows the Programme
Demolition is not construction. The risks, the timeline and the people on site are different — and a security plan that works for a live build often falls short once structural demolition begins and the perimeter starts to shift.
Demolition Guardian Security is the specialist security arm of Property Security Group Limited. We provide manned guarding, mobile patrols, dog handler teams, monitored solar CCTV and scaffolding alarm hire specifically for demolition and redevelopment sites across the UK. Our clients include some of the UK's leading demolition contractors, and our founder has over 20 years of experience in construction site security — including high-security environments and nuclear decommissioning facilities.
If you are planning or managing a demolition programme and want to discuss security, we welcome the call.

Why Demolition Sites Need a Different Approach
Why ask Demolition Guardian Security to protect your construction or demolition site
Demolition sites carry a specific set of risks that general construction security is not always designed to address:
-
Shifting perimeters. As structures come down, the site boundary changes. A fixed security plan from the start of a project may leave gaps by week three.
-
Residual materials and salvageable plant. Stripped copper, steel, heavy machinery and stored demolition equipment are targets. Opportunist theft increases as the site clears and becomes more accessible.
-
Phased handover. In redevelopment projects, cleared sections may sit vacant for months before groundworks begin. That gap period is high-risk.
-
Access points multiply. Temporary hoardings, crane positions and contractor access requirements create access points that need managing as the programme progresses.
-
Dust, noise and vibration. These affect electronic detection systems that work well on conventional construction sites. Our equipment is selected for the demolition environment.
We understand how a demolition programme runs. That is what makes the difference.

Case Studies
As soon as this motorcyclist started to cut the fence the camera controllers monitored him,
Police and local Security Keyholders were alerted. He went and hid up but would have been surprised to see the rapid response by police and guards.
Thieves triggered the security cameras as they arrived. They fled, taking their stolen car with them, as soon as the sirens sounded.
The sirens were held back, to give Police chance to catch them, until they started to break into a digger on site when we activated them to prevent further damage.
