Luton’s construction landscape stretches from the £100 million Power Court Stadium rising opposite St Mary’s Church in the town centre, to the 83-acre Butterfield Business Park and the new Hillwood Park logistics scheme off the M1.
These sites carry real value in plant, materials and equipment, and Bedfordshire Police recorded 1,691 vehicle crime offences in Luton over the past 12 months, a rate of 6.48 per 1,000 people that runs 51% above the national average.
Luton’s overall crime rate also sits 23% higher than the wider Bedfordshire average, with vehicle crime peaking overnight between midnight and 6am, exactly when most sites stand empty. For contractors delivering schemes like Power Court or the next phase at Butterfield, that overnight window is where plant, generators and site cabins are most exposed.
This is why contractors bring us in for construction security Luton, not a generic guarding contract. Region Security Guarding supplies SIA-licensed security guards, mobile patrol services, gatehouse access control and K9 units built around construction sites, not retail units repurposed for a different job.
We hold SIA Approved Contractor status, ISO 9001:2015, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe, and Constructionline Silver. That’s immediate pre‑qualification for your principal contractor and insurer, with zero paperwork delays.
We hire fully vetted security officers.
Quality management system certified
Our guards follow strict health laws.
From a single gatehouse to a multi-phase development, we scale guarding up or down as your build progresses, without renegotiating the whole contract each time.
Our trained guards patrol your site throughout every build phase, checking compounds, welfare units and storage areas, deterring intruders and responding immediately so work isn’t delayed by theft or damage.
A dedicated guard holds position at your entrance or highest-value compound, controlling access, checking deliveries and keeping a visible presence that discourages opportunist theft through quiet overnight hours.
Our guards manage vehicle and pedestrian access at site gatehouses, verifying contractors and logging deliveries, keeping unauthorised visitors off site, critical during multi-contractor phases like the Power Court build.
Our NASDU-aligned handlers with trained dogs patrol larger compounds and stockyards, covering ground faster than foot patrols alone and adding a strong physical deterrent against trespass and cable theft.
Most construction site security quotes are built for a generic site, not a Luton one. We price around what’s actually happening on the ground. Airport-adjacent logistics units at Hillwood Park deal with overnight HGV movement.
Town-centre regeneration plots like The Stage sit with public footfall running right past the hoarding. Residential conversions near Napier Park have to work site access around live rail and DART infrastructure.
That means our construction site security guards aren’t just posted at a gate. They’re briefed on your specific delivery schedule, your subcontractors’ vehicles, and the times your site is genuinely empty and exposed. We also flex cover as a build moves through groundworks, superstructure and fit-out, so you’re never paying for a full static team once the site’s mostly enclosed.
Beyond a guard at the gate, protecting a live build means covering what actually goes missing: plant, cabins, fencing and deliveries, before it ends up on a loss report.
Guards walk the full boundary each shift, checking hoarding, fencing and gates for damage or forced entry, flagging weak points before they become an access route for trespassers or thieves.
Diggers, generators and tower crane areas are logged and checked each patrol, with serial numbers noted so anything moved, tampered with, or missing overnight is picked up and reported straight away.
Guards secure cabins, containers and compounds at the end of each working day and respond to triggered alarms overnight, checking the cause before deciding whether police attendance is genuinely needed.
Every delivery driver and subcontractor is checked against your site list at the gate, with vehicles and materials logged in and out, keeping an accurate record of exactly who has been on site.
A straightforward process from first enquiry to first shift, built to get guards on site quickly without skipping the planning that keeps your build genuinely protected.
We visit your Luton site to assess access points, storage areas and existing security, then recommend guard numbers and patrol frequency based on what's actually there, not a standard template.
Guards are briefed on your site plan, emergency contacts and specific risks before their first shift, so cover starts properly from day one instead of learning the site on your time.
Every check-in logs through REMS with a timestamp and photo, giving your site manager visibility without needing to be on site or chase updates over the phone every morning.
As your site moves through phases, we adjust patrol times and guard numbers with you, keeping cover matched to the actual risk on site rather than a fixed, unchanging contract.
Accreditation alone doesn’t stop theft. What sets us apart is fast, backed-up cover, verifiable tracking on every patrol, and guards who understand construction, not just guarding.
Every shift is logged, not just claimed. Our REMS system captures QR check-ins every 45 minutes, live incident photos, and full reports with police reference numbers where relevant, so you have a paper trail if anything does happen on site.
Construction timelines shift constantly, and we’ve built our deployment process to move with them rather than against them. Guards can be confirmed and on-site within 24-48 hours, with cover scaled up during high-risk phases like groundworks or material deliveries and scaled back once a building is enclosed.
Every guard operates under our SIA Approved Contractor status, alongside ISO 9001:2015, SafeContractor and Constructionline Silver accreditation, which means your site security is already documented for insurers, principal contractors and health and safety audits.
We cover live construction sites throughout Luton and neighbouring Bedfordshire towns, from town-centre regeneration plots to out-of-town industrial developments.
Beyond construction, we cover the sectors driving Luton’s growth right now, from logistics units to town-centre residential schemes.
Luton Airport’s ongoing expansion works bring the same access-control and perimeter demands as any major construction site, alongside strict aviation security requirements our guards are briefed to meet.
With town-centre regeneration reshaping units around the Mall and St George’s Square, retail and mixed-use developments need guarding that covers both the live build and adjoining trading units.
New student housing schemes serving the University of Bedfordshire need site security through construction and handover, then ongoing concierge and access control once residents actually move in.
Developments around Capability Green, Butterfield Business Park and Kingsway need gatehouse control and patrols during build-out, then ongoing site security once tenants and warehousing operations move in.
Costs vary with site size, guard numbers and hours required, but most groundworks or mid-build contracts are quoted as a day rate after a free site walk.
Yes, we review cover with your site manager at each build phase, increasing guards during groundworks or deliveries and reducing them once the structure is enclosed and secure.
Yes, our SIA Approved Contractor status, ISO 9001:2015 certification and Constructionline Silver membership are documented and ready to support health and safety and procurement audits.
Guards log the incident immediately with photos through REMS, contact you or your nominated site manager, and involve police where necessary, adding a reference number to the report.
Yes, vacant site security is something we handle regularly, since unoccupied plots often carry higher trespass risk than active ones with workers and deliveries present through the day.
Whether it’s a single plot or a multi-phase build, our team can assess your site and have SIA-licensed guards deployed within days, not weeks.
