Residential Security in Hampstead
Get in touch with us and we'll get back to you within one business day.
We provide residential security in Hampstead for large private homes, gated properties, and prime blocks across NW3, working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from our North London base in Hendon (NW4). Our residential work is people-led: SIA-licensed officers on site, mobile patrol visits, overnight cover, key holding, and alarm response, supported by CCTV monitoring where a property already has cameras.
Call 0800 093 0001 or request a quote. Every officer is SIA licensed and screened to BS 7858:2019.
Residential security in Hampstead includes manned guarding at the house or gate, scheduled and randomised mobile patrols, overnight static cover, secure keyholding with alarm-response attendance, void and holiday-home checks, and monitoring of existing CCTV. Cover can be booked as a one-off weekend or a permanent rota.
We cover Hampstead, Belsize Park, South Hampstead, Frognal, and the wider NW3 postcode, plus North London addresses within the M25. For the full specification, see our residential security page.
| Service | What it covers | Typical Hampstead use case |
|---|---|---|
| Manned guarding | Gate and door control, contractor and delivery checks, visitor logging, and grounds checks | Large detached home or estate with household staff on site |
| Mobile patrols and overnight cover | Timed external checks, overnight static presence, and written visit logs | House empty overnight during building works or a family trip |
| Key holding and alarm response | Secure key storage, attendance on activation, lock-up, and unlock visits | Owners who travel, and agents holding keys across NW3 |
| Void and holiday-home cover | Occupancy checks, post collection, checks for water ingress and open windows | Between-tenancy periods and second-home owners away for the season |
| CCTV monitoring | Remote review of existing systems, ICO-compliant footage handling | Driveway and perimeter cameras on a property backing onto the Heath |
A residential officer controls who reaches the door: managing the gate and intercom, verifying contractors and deliveries against the day’s expected list, logging visitors, escorting trades, and checking the grounds, outbuildings, and side returns at set intervals. We staff day-only, night-only, and full 24-hour rotas, with built-in relief.
Officers work around the household, not through it. We agree in advance who authorises access, where officers are positioned, and how incident reports are sent to an off-site managing agent. The dress is suited, or deliberately low-profile, to a private residential street. Where a family also needs travel cover, close protection officers can be assigned alongside the static team, and gated developments and prime blocks often prefer front-of-house concierge services to a guarding post.
Patrols suit owners who do not need a permanent presence. We mix scheduled and randomised visit times so the pattern cannot be read from the street, checking gates, garaging, outbuildings, ground-floor windows, side returns, and garden access points, which matters on properties backing onto Hampstead Heath. Every visit is timestamped and reported.
Overnight static cover suits periods of raised risk: scaffolding up during listed-building works, a bereavement, high-value deliveries, or an empty house while the family is away. Hampstead’s narrow conservation streets, private roads, and permit parking affect routing and vehicle choice, so we plan patrol runs around them. Compare frequencies on our residential and mobile patrols page.

We hold keys in secure, audited storage, released only to named authorised officers with a documented handover record. During an activation, we attend, search the perimeter and, when safe to do so, the interior, reset the system, and arrange a locksmith or board-up after forced entry. Where a crime has occurred, we report it to the Metropolitan Police and remain on site until officers attend.
Our officers deploy from Hendon (NW4), a short drive from NW3, and we quote a realistic attendance window based on traffic conditions rather than a fixed-minute figure. We also cover supervised lock-up and unlock visits, as well as contractor, cleaner, and delivery access. A written incident report is completed for every attendance.
While a family is abroad or at a second home, we carry out occupancy checks, collect post so it does not build up visibly, and confirm that alarms, gates, and external lighting are working. Cover starts from a single weekend, including at short notice.
For void and between-tenancy properties, we focus on squatter deterrence, checks for water ingress and open windows, and control of contractor access. During renovation, the scaffolding, open rooflines, and rotating trade list are usually the real access route into the main house, so we treat the works area as part of the brief. Our role is deterrence, patrol, monitoring, and response; no provider can promise an attempt will never happen.
Before an officer sets foot in a Hampstead home, we can evidence who they are and how they were checked.
We will visit the property, walk the perimeter and access points, and assess the existing alarm and camera systems, then recommend a cover pattern with a written quote, with no obligation. Our three lead residential services are manned guarding, mobile patrols, and key holding with alarm response.
Call 0800 093 0001 or contact us for a quote. Every officer is SIA-licensed, screened to BS 7858:2019, and managed in line with SIA ACS standards.
We cover the whole of NW3, including Hampstead village, Frognal, Belsize Park, and South Hampstead, plus neighbouring Highgate, Mill Hill, and St John’s Wood. Officers deploy from Hendon (NW4) to residential addresses across North London and the rest of Greater London within the M25.
Yes. Every officer attending a property holds a valid SIA licence for their role, and all staff are screened in accordance with BS 7858:2019, covering identity, right to work, employment history, financial checks, and criminal record disclosure. We can supply licence details for the assigned team.
Cost depends on the cover pattern: hours per shift, number of officers, patrol frequency, and whether key holding is included. Overnight static cover is priced differently from scheduled patrol visits. We provide a written quote after the site assessment, so the figure reflects the actual property.
Yes. We take short-term bookings from a single weekend upwards and can often mobilise quickly for a trip away, a bereavement, building works, or a void period between tenancies. Longer rotas are set up after a site visit and agreed assignment instructions.
Yes. We are a guarding provider, not an alarm installer, so we work with whatever system is in place. That includes acting as the nominated keyholder and alarm-response contact, reviewing existing camera coverage, and flagging any blind spots or faults we find on patrol.
Footage we monitor or receive is treated as personal data under the UK GDPR and handled in line with the ICO’s video surveillance guidance. Access is restricted to authorised staff, retention periods are agreed with you in writing, and footage is released only to you or to the police on lawful request.
