Security Services

  • Static Security Guarding: Supplying security guards/officers throughout the UK, Valley Security's operations management is proactive in matching people to assignment requirements. Similarly, great care is taken during on-the-job (assignment specific) training of staff. We understand that the placement of highly trained professional staff is paramount to meeting the expectations of discerning clients and consumers. The scope of static guarding assignments is wide ranging and, as a result of increasing crime, take up has increased in all market sectors including public access buildings, in line with increased incidents of verbal and physical abuse. Employers and public service providers face growing pressures to ensure a safe environment for employees and visitors. All VSS personnel receive formal Security Industry Authority training and have to pass SIA approved examinations on the subject of conflict management; early recognition of hostility is key to calming and defusing situations, which could otherwise escalate into ugly and potentially costly issues.
  • Mobile Security Patrols: Operating in Welshpool, Shrewsbury, Ellesmere, Oswestry and Wrexham areas (serving Shropshire and Powys); these well equipped search and response units make random security patrols of clients premises (business and residential), through the night and at week ends - to ensure the security of all doors, gates and windows. VSS mobile patrol units are equipped with computerised guard tour checkpoint systems, where downloaded activity data assures clients of effective operation policing. A computerised print out, listing date and time recordings is supplied routinely (with invoices) allowing a simple cross reference between requirement and delivery.

  • Car Parking/Traffic Management: Do you have problems at your premises with illegal/thoughtless parking, or with general traffic management distractions? These increasing problems cause frustration to many owners/occupiers; also there may be Health and Safety implications which cannot be ignored. Our highly visible staff are trained to diplomatically ensure that these abuses are identified, recorded and not repeated.

  • Front of House: Assignments located in public buildings and commercial/business premises, where a diplomatic and attentive approach is essential in the enhancement of the visitor experience. Valley Security staff in these roles enjoy excellent relations with clients and consumers, primarily due to a flexible attitude towards responsibilities, where for example, a variety of portering/concierge duties may also be willingly undertaken.

  • Gatehouse / Weighbridge Security: Operating often in high throughput areas, processing a wide range of visitors and staff, VSS security lodge and weighbridge operators are trained with particular emphasis on multi-tasking and people skills.

  • Key holding / Intruder Alarm Activation Response: Offered to businesses of all types/sizes, clubs and home owners. Upon notification, one of our response units will immediately attend, to conduct a thorough external and internal site search - to establish the cause of activation. In the event of a false alarm, a straight forward alarm reset is carried out, with the premises secured on departure. In circumstances where an intrusion had occurred, our people would preserve the premises as a scene of crime, notifying the Police and the client. Upon client instructions, we would maintain a Guard on site until either boarding up or full repairs are carried out, to reinstate security. Customers may prefer (and have the option of) using their own key holders, employing VSS in support on a 'hold hands' basis - so as not to place their own people at risk. Conversely, a fully delegated service is the option, where the customer remains undisturbed and a written report is provided the following morning.
    As is customary throughout the VSS range of services, you choose - we advise and provide.

  • House Sitting: Crime statistics for burglary and robbery, or fear of trespass, squatting and vandalism are of serious concern for absent home owners. VSS offers flexible short term and ongoing solutions, ranging from a full live-in service, to mobile patrolling - according to risk and budget. All VSS home sitting personnel are ofcourse, CRB checked and SIA licensed.
  • Monitoring Centre: Valley Security operates a round-the-clock monitoring and directing facility of operations, to ensure continuity of services, protection of lone workers and response to alarm activations. This facility is available to clients employing lone workers, where a duty of care is met and a rapid 'man down' response is initiated should a check call be missed and contact cannot be made.

  • Events Security: Operating in teams, our Security Stewards and Door Supervisors service the entertainment industry, providing a safe environment for an enjoyable experience. Consumer examples include media productions, trade shows and exhibitions, sporting events, live music concerts, conferences and weddings. Stewarding techniques are tailored to suit the type of event, venue and guest numbers etc. Where appropriate, at large events, our Steward Team Leaders attend and contribute to emergency planning meetings during the lead up and operate in accord with the H.&S.E. Event Safety Guide or 'purple bible' - as do the emergency services.

  • Supply, installation, certified annual inspections, repairs, refills and re-supply of portable fire extinguishers and related equipments (including mandatory signage), to BS 5306 part 3 standards.

  • All types of portable fire fighting equipment, hose reels and signage can be supplied and serviced/repaired.

  • Our engineers can advise clients with regard to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, approved by parliament in 2005, effective from 1st October 2006 in England and Wales - when fire certificates were abolished and responsibility lies with owners and employers to undertake Fire Risk Assessments and to act on the findings. We understand that many businesses will not have the necessary internal skills to carry out their legal obligations in this regard, VSS Fire Protection are here to help.
