Who we are

Security planned around your site

222 Security Services provides SIA-licensed officers to businesses across London and the surrounding counties. We protect shops, offices, managed buildings, construction sites, warehouses, events and venues, for a single shift or on continuous cover.

Every assignment starts with a visit to your site. We then agree a written site brief with you, so your officers arrive knowing the layout, the routines and exactly how you want the site protected.

Optional extra

Uniforms to your specification

Officers in uniform specified by you, with your branding, your colours or the style of dress your site requires. Optional and quoted separately.

Explore uniform options

Standard guarding uniform

Our default uniform: shirt or polo, softshell or fleece, tailored trousers and a weatherproof outer layer, in a smart, dark, professional style.

Corporate front-of-house dress

For receptions, head offices and residential lobbies, where a welcoming appearance matters. Suit, shirt and tie, with the security role shown by the badge.

Your branding applied

Your logo embroidered or heat-sealed at an agreed position, in your colours, with name badges if required. We check your artwork in advance to make sure it will reproduce cleanly.

High-visibility and outdoor kit

For gatehouses, yards, construction and night work: high-visibility garments to the class your risk assessment specifies, with waterproof and thermal layers.

Visible identification

The SIA licence worn where it can be seen and read, with photo identification and an optional name badge, so every officer is clearly identifiable.

Replacement for the life of the contract

Garments replaced to the same specification when they wear, fade or no longer fit, so your team keeps a consistent, professional appearance.

Why choose us

What you can expect from us

Six commitments that apply to every site we protect, from the first shift onwards.

Officers who know your site

Every assignment starts with a site visit. Patrol routes, access rules and key holders go into a written site brief, and every officer is briefed on it before their first shift.

Licensed and vetted officers

Every officer passes right-to-work, identity and SIA licence checks, and we take up references. Enhanced disclosure is added where the setting requires it, and licence details are available on request.

Reports you can use

Shift and incident reports on a schedule that suits you, written clearly enough to pass straight to your insurer or the police.

One named contact

You deal with one named contact who knows your site, with a clear escalation order agreed at the start, so everyone knows who to call.

The same standard on every shift

Challenge, search and refusal procedures are agreed with you and applied in the same way to everyone. That makes your premises harder to target and every decision easy to explain.

Where we work

We cover London and the surrounding counties. If your site is further afield, tell us where it is and we will confirm what we can provide.

Who we work with

Sectors we protect

A shop, a construction site and a school face very different risks. Here is how we approach each of the sectors we cover.

Reception-trained officers who manage access while keeping your building welcoming.

Retail and shopping centres

Visible deterrence at the door and on the shop floor, guided by a written challenge policy.

Construction sites

Warehousing and distribution

Vehicle and personnel movement records, stock checks and cover across shift changeovers.

Logistics and transport

Yard control, driver check-in and load verification as vehicles enter and leave.

Events and venues

Door supervisors and stewards working to a written plan agreed before the doors open.

Hospitality and licensed premises

SIA-licensed door supervision that meets the conditions of your premises licence.

Education

Officers with the enhanced checks the setting requires, working to the school's safeguarding policy.

How it works

From first call to first shift

Four steps. You commit to nothing until you have approved the plan in writing.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Tell us about your site, the hours you need covered and your main concerns. We will confirm early on whether we can provide the cover.

  2. We survey your site

    We walk the site with you, free of charge, to assess entrances, blind spots, the hours that matter most and any local risks. This is what makes an accurate quote possible.

  3. You approve the plan in writing

    You receive a written quote and a site brief setting out post duties, patrol timings and who to call. Cover starts once you have approved both.

  4. Your officers start

    Officers are matched to your site, checked for the correct licence and briefed on site before their first shift. Reports then follow on the schedule you choose.

FAQs

Common questions

Read all FAQs
Are your officers SIA licensed?

Yes. Front-line security officers must hold a valid SIA (Security Industry Authority) licence by law, and we can provide licence details for any officer assigned to your site.

How does a new assignment start?

With a site visit, from which we prepare a written site brief. It covers patrol routes and timings, access rules, key holders, escalation contacts and the situations most likely on your site. Cover begins once you have approved it.

How much does security cost?

It depends on the hours, the number of posts, the licence category required and the notice period. Because each site is different, we price your cover after reviewing the site. Tell us what you need and we will send you a written quote.

What areas do you cover?

London and the surrounding counties. If your site is further afield, get in touch and we will confirm whether we can provide the standard of cover you need.
