Security in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland is a newer area for the Urgent Guard network, so we are open about how it works: we do not have an established presence across the BT postcode area yet. When you send a request for a site in Belfast, Lisburn, Newry or Armagh, the control room checks which partner companies and licensed officers can take the work and comes back to you with a confirmed answer, rather than taking a booking we cannot staff.

The work we are asked about most here mirrors other UK cities: construction and refurbishment sites that need overnight cover, empty commercial units awaiting re-letting, retail stores during busy trading periods, and warehouses near the main road corridors out of Belfast. Once cover is confirmed you get the same client app as everywhere else, with GPS clock-in, welfare check-calls, a live occurrence log and incident reports with photos.

Towns and districts covered

Requests for Belfast, Lisburn, Newry and Armagh are handled by the same 24/7 control room as the rest of the UK. Because the network is still building its presence in Northern Ireland, each request is checked individually: the control room confirms officers, start time and your exact price before the booking is accepted. Planned cover with a few days' notice gives the best chance of a match; same-day requests are possible only when a suitable officer is available.

Questions about security in Northern Ireland

Can you cover a site in Belfast at short notice?
Sometimes, but we will not promise it. Northern Ireland cover is arranged on request, so the control room checks which licensed officers are available and confirms before booking. If you can give a few days' notice, call 0800 471 4792 or send the quote form and we will tell you quickly whether we can staff it.
Do officers in Northern Ireland use the same client app?
Yes. Any cover we confirm in the BT area runs through the same platform as the rest of the UK, so you see GPS clock-in, welfare check-calls, the live occurrence log and incident reports with photos, and you can raise issues with the control room from the app.
Are your prices different in Northern Ireland?
The calculator shows our standard starting rates: guarding from £24.50 an hour, mobile patrols from £45 per patrol and keyholding callouts from £55, all plus VAT. Because cover here is arranged case by case, the control room confirms your exact price when it confirms the officers.
