Brighton and Hove’s overall crime rate currently runs at 90 crimes per 1,000 people, which is 22% higher than the East Sussex average of 74 per 1,000. Looking specifically at how Brighton compares to other towns policed by Sussex Police, Brighton and Hove ranks as the third most dangerous location by crime risk score.
Two categories matter most for a site manager. First, shoplifting and acquisitive crime figures: Brighton and Hove records a shoplifting rate 2.09 times the national average, based on 4,623 reports logged by Sussex Police over the 12 months to April 2026.
Second, public order offences are trending upward, with a 30% increase in the Public Order index over the past three years, a pattern that plays out around unattended sites and hoarding just as much as it does on the street.
That’s where our construction security Brighton earns its place in the project budget. We don’t just post a guard at the gate. We build a presence around your specific site: perimeter patrols timed to when theft actually happens, gatehouse checks that keep unauthorised visitors and vehicles out, and reporting that gives your site manager a clear picture every single morning, not just when something’s gone wrong.
Every guard we place on a construction site in Brighton carries an SIA licence, and our operation runs to ISO 9001:2015, SafeContractor and Constructionline Silver standards. The checks your principal contractor will ask for before day one.
We hire fully vetted security officers.
Quality management system certified
Our guards follow strict health laws.
Whichever service you draw on, it’s delivered by the same accredited team, coordinated around your programme and your access points, not a generic patrol schedule.
Our guards hold fixed positions at your compound and storage areas around the clock, giving you continuous protection over plant and materials during exactly the phases your site is most exposed.
Every vehicle and visitor gets checked and logged against your day’s authorised list, so you get full control over who enters your site and a clean audit trail for compliance.
We pair a handler with a trained dog for after-hours cover on larger sites, giving you a visible deterrent that keeps opportunistic intruders away before they even test your perimeter.
We station a dedicated guard on your site, briefed on your access points and routine, so you get a constant human presence that spots problems before they escalate, not just a body at the gate.
Region Security Guarding is ranked in the Top 25% of UK security companies, a standing built on eleven years of guarding real construction sites, not just holding certificates. We bring over thirty years of combined frontline and management experience to every deployment. That experience sits behind a full accreditation stack: SIA Approved Contractor, ISO 9001:2015, SafeContractor and Constructionline Silver. British Steel and Brendoncare have both kept us on long-term contracts because our guards perform to that standard consistently, not just on inspection day.
Different stages of a build need different cover, so we adjust the mix of static, mobile and specialist security as the project moves from groundworks to handover.
Guards perform scheduled and random patrols using QR check-in points at critical assets. Every round is logged to your REMS portal, proving the site was physically checked, not just assumed safe.
We secure fencing lines, scaffold zones, and lockable containers. Static officers observe blind spots while gatehouse staff verify every vehicle, stopping copper, fuel, or tool theft at the boundary.
No one walks onto a Brighton build unchecked. We photo-log all visitors, manage inductions, and challenge unfamiliar faces. Delivery paperwork is cross-checked so missing items are caught instantly.
On expansive seaside regeneration plots or out-of-town industrial sites, our trained dogs detect hidden trespassers long before they reach valuable plants. An unmissable psychological deterrent for any would-be thief.
Getting a guard on site fast and keeping site managers informed matters more to contractors than a glossy sales pitch.
We visit your site in person, map access points, storage areas and blind spots, then build a security plan around what your build actually needs.
Our guards are matched to your site and fully briefed on procedures, emergency contacts and reporting requirements before their first shift begins.
Our REMS system logs QR check-ins every 45 minutes, so patrols are verified in real time, not just promised on paper.
You receive incident reports with photos and reference numbers when needed, plus regular reviews to adjust cover as your site progresses.
Our operational advantages separate us from other security companies bidding for your Brighton site. We provide demonstrable accountability, local readiness, and a support structure built for real construction timelines.
Our REMS Guard Tracking System eliminates the industry’s worst habit: no-show guards. QR check-ins every 45 minutes produce a live audit trail visible from your phone. If an incident occurs, you receive images, a full narrative, and a police reference immediately, not a paper report days later.
A guard rota is only as good as its weakest shift, and that’s where many security firms let contractors down. We build contingency in from the start, backing every deployment with fast mobilisation and pricing aligned to UK government and public sector rates, so cover never comes at a premium.
Our teams aren’t unfamiliar faces bussed in from elsewhere. They know Brighton’s streets, seafront layout and traffic patterns, and how areas like Preston Barracks or Shoreham Harbour behave after dark, so response times and site awareness stay sharp from the first shift.
We cover live construction sites across Brighton, Hove and the surrounding towns, with guards who already know the local access routes and site conditions.
Beyond construction, our SIA security guards support Brighton’s various sector with the same rigorous tracking and local insight.
Brighton’s high student population requires safe halls and residences. We provide concierge-style access control and night patrols that keep students and property secure year-round.
Seafront hotels and venues rely on our discreet, uniformed guards for front-of-house presence, bag checks, and out-of-hours alarm response, protecting reputation and revenue.
From Churchill Square to The Lanes, we protect shops against theft and antisocial behaviour. Guards are trained in customer-facing conflict resolution and shop floor deterrence.
From Brighton Pride to corporate gatherings on Hove Lawns, we deliver crowd management, gate security, and rapid response teams that keep events safe and licence-compliant.
We can typically mobilise SIA-licensed guards within 24-48 hours once we’ve reviewed your site layout, access points and the level of cover your programme needs.
Yes, out-of-hours and weekend cover is one of our most requested services, since unattended sites are consistently when theft and vandalism are most likely to occur.
Yes, our NASDU-aligned K9 units are available for larger compounds and sites where a visible handler-and-dog presence adds extra deterrence beyond standard patrols.
Our REMS system logs QR check-ins every 45 minutes, with live incident alerts, images and reports sent straight to your site manager, so nothing relies on trust alone.
Yes. We review guard numbers and patrol timing with you as your site progresses, adjusting cover rather than locking you into a fixed arrangement that stops fitting.
Whatever stage your build is at, our accredited guards, gatehouse control and patrol teams are ready to protect it. Talk to us about cover for your site today.
