Coast Services provides professional security solutions across the UK, specialising in manned guarding, wireless CCTV systems, dog handling, mobile patrols, and key holding services.
To ensure our clients’ security needs are always met, we offer a comprehensive selection of security services – including security guards, dog handlers, key holding and alarm response, CCTV monitoring and mobile patrols. Each of our bespoke security packages is created in line with our clients’ specific requirements.
Coast Services offers professional key holding and alarm response services across England, Wales, and Scotland, removing the burden of out-of-hours call-outs from you and your staff. Our trained, SIA-licensed officers hold your keys securely in our monitored facility and respond to any alarm activation on your behalf — day or night, 365 days a year.
When an alarm is triggered at your premises, our 24/7 control room is notified immediately. The nearest available officer is dispatched to attend your site, carry out a thorough external and internal inspection, assess the situation, liaise with police or emergency services if required, and secure the premises before leaving. You receive a comprehensive incident report detailing everything that was found and the actions taken.
All keys held by Coast Services are stored in accordance with strict security protocols. Each set is logged, coded, and stored in a secure, access-controlled facility. Keys are never labelled with addresses or identifiable information, ensuring they cannot be linked to a specific location if compromised. Our chain-of-custody procedures provide a full audit trail of every key movement.
In addition to alarm response, we can provide daily lock-up and unlock services for your premises — opening in the morning and securing at the end of the day. This is popular with retail businesses, offices, and industrial units where removing the responsibility from staff reduces risk and improves operational efficiency.
Key holding and alarm response from Coast Services gives you complete peace of mind that your premises are protected around the clock — without the disruption and personal risk of attending alarm activations yourself.
