Perimeter & Boundary Checks
Fence lines, hoarding, gates and known weak points walked and checked for damage, breach or signs of attempted entry.
AGS Security provides mobile patrol services for commercial, industrial, construction and vacant sites across the UK — SIA-licensed officers in marked patrol vehicles, visiting at times that cannot be predicted from outside.
Plenty of sites cannot justify an officer on the gate around the clock, but are still exposed the moment the last person leaves. A mobile patrol closes that gap: a real presence at the site several times a night, at intervals an intruder cannot learn, for a fraction of the cost of continuous manned cover.
Every visit is logged through our patrol app, so you receive timed, evidenced records of when officers attended and what they found — not an invoice you have to take on trust.
A patrol is not a drive past the gate. What the officer checks, in what order, and what they do about it are set out for your site before the first visit.
Fence lines, hoarding, gates and known weak points walked and checked for damage, breach or signs of attempted entry.
Yards, car parks, compounds, loading bays and stored plant covered on foot, not observed from the vehicle.
Where access is provided, internal routes are walked to check doors, windows, plant rooms and anything left unsecured.
Securing the premises at close and opening at start of works, so your own staff are not doing it alone at either end of the day.
Empty buildings checked for forced entry, unauthorised occupation, fly-tipping, water ingress and other damage.
Attending your premises when an alarm is raised, so an activation is investigated rather than logged and left.
Each visit logged and timestamped through the patrol app, giving you a record of attendance rather than an assurance of it.
Findings recorded and raised through the agreed route, including contacting your key holders or the emergency services.
Mobile patrolling is the easiest security service in the industry to under-deliver on. Nobody is there to see whether the officer got out of the vehicle, walked the boundary, or came at all.
That is why the things worth judging a patrol provider on are unglamorous: whether the vehicle is marked, whether the timings vary, and whether you can see evidence of each visit afterwards. AGS is built around being checkable on all three.
Marked, liveried patrol vehicles, because a deterrent nobody notices is not a deterrent.
Visit patterns varied deliberately, so the gap between patrols cannot be worked out from the street.
Timed visit records through the patrol app, so attendance is something you can check rather than trust.
Patrols considered alongside officers, key holding, alarm response and CCTV, from one provider.
One schedule, one contact and one reporting format across a portfolio of premises.
Priced on the sites, visit frequency and duties agreed, rather than an off-the-shelf package.
A real security presence through the empty hours, on sites that could never justify an officer stationed there permanently.
Sites targeted more than once are being watched. Unpredictable patrols remove the certainty that makes them worth returning to.
An open door, a cut fence, a leak or a fly-tip discovered on the night it happens rather than at eight the next morning.
Lock-up, unlock and alarm attendance handled by officers, so a manager is not driving in at two in the morning.
Timed visit records and incident reports that show what cover was in place and what was found.
The same standard, reporting and escalation applied at every site rather than varying by location.
These are different services solving different problems, and the wrong choice is expensive either way. This is how we would talk it through with you before quoting.
Sites that are empty for long stretches, sites too small or too numerous to staff individually, and premises where the risk is opportunist rather than targeted. Also the right answer where a site needs locking up and opening reliably, or checking a few times a night, but nothing in between.
Sites needing someone present continuously — controlling access, signing in contractors and deliveries, holding a gate, or responding immediately rather than at the next visit. If the exposure is constant, patrols will always leave a gap between them.
A common arrangement is an officer or gatehouse through working hours, when contractors and deliveries need managing, and mobile patrols overnight and at weekends. You pay for continuous cover only during the hours that genuinely need it.
A patrol schedule is built around when your site is actually exposed, not around a round number of visits per night.
We visit each site, walk the boundary and access points, and establish the hours it stands empty and any history of intrusion.
Visit frequency, check points, duties, key holding arrangements and escalation written into the assignment instructions.
Briefed SIA-licensed officers attend in marked vehicles, with timings varied so the pattern cannot be predicted.
Timed visit records and incident reports, with the schedule adjusted as the site, season or risk changes.
Mobile patrols suit sites that stand empty predictably — which describes most commercial property outside working hours.
Offices, business parks and managed estates that are empty from early evening until the following morning.

Patrol contracts are usually lost quietly. Visits get shorter, the boundary stops being walked, and nobody notices until something happens and there is no record of anyone having been there.
