Man Guarding
Our manned guarding service provides highly trained, uniformed officers to protect premises, assets, and personnel. Officers are BS7858-vetted and equipped to handle risk assessment, crime prevention, and emergency response. This service ensures a visible deterrent and tailored security solutions for static sites or retail environments.
CCTV Monitoring
We offer advanced CCTV and alarm response systems with 24/7 monitoring. Our HD cameras feature night vision, analytics, and two-way audio for real-time intrusion detection. Systems are installed following site-specific assessments, ensuring comprehensive coverage for businesses, vacant properties, or remote locations.

Our SIA-licensed door supervisors ensure safety at licensed premises. They enforce admissions policies, manage crowd control, and comply with licensing laws. Staff receive regular performance reviews and are covered by public liability insurance, guaranteeing professionalism and client compliance.

Having used Universal for the past 20 years i feel as though it is about time i gave them a review, what i find with universal is that the directors are very professional in what they do within the company towards the needs of their clients, go the extra mile when ever i needed them to , the guards are always well turned out and always on time, and the office staff especially Danielle are on top of all matters when it comes to dealing with the site managers with any site issues that arise , I would definitely recommend universal to all my fellow construction friends and former colleagues
