Training, licensing and insurance

Fast K9 Security Limited holds ISO 9001 certification, SafeContractor approval and Constructionline Gold membership. Public liability insurance is in place. Relevant security personnel hold valid SIA licences, our general-purpose security dog handlers hold NASDU Level 2 handler training, and drug detection assignments use trained specialist handlers.

These credentials sit alongside the practical service you receive: personnel carrying out defined duties, operations coordinating the assignment and reports that keep you informed. Our team can discuss the relevant supporting information with your procurement or facilities representative.

Plan for the whole unattended period

An extended closure can include maintenance visits, collections and changes to the normal opening routine. Cover works best when the schedule reflects that whole period.

Our canine security teams provide patrols of designated buildings, boundaries and storage areas. Where contractors still need access, a security officer can maintain an entrance role alongside the dog handler.

Keep a closure covered from the first evening to reopening

Fast K9 provides dog-handler guarding across weekends, holidays and longer shutdowns. The assignment can cover the complete unattended period or selected hours within it.

Our handler patrols designated areas, checks entrances and boundaries and records relevant observations. Hourly photographs support the updates, with operations maintaining contact throughout the shift.

This gives your premises a physical security presence while the normal workforce is away. We support buildings, external storage, yards, projects and other properties where equipment or materials remain during a closure.

Make maintenance access part of the arrangement

A closed business can still receive contractors, deliveries or collections. We help organise those expected activities before cover begins so the handler has relevant access information.

Where an entrance requires a permanent position, a separate officer can manage arrivals while the canine patrol continues. The two duties stay clear, allowing necessary work to take place without making the patrol responsible for remaining at the gate.

Different days can have different security hours. A shutdown schedule might include maintenance during one part of the period and unattended nights during another. Your quotation can reflect those changes rather than assume an identical pattern throughout.

Drug detection before, during or after the closure

Our specialist detection handlers provide searches for workplaces, commercial premises, venues and events. A visit can be organised for the period relevant to your operation, independently of guarding.

The handler directs the dog in searching for trained target odours and communicates relevant findings to your nominated representative. We organise the search area and timing with the person responsible for the premises.

If you want a recurring workplace programme after reopening, that can be discussed alongside the first visit. Detection remains a specialist assignment with its own scope and price, while general-purpose dog handlers provide patrol security where required.

Carry useful information from one night to the next

During an extended closure, a matter reported early in the period may still need attention later. Our operations team coordinates communication so the next assignment can receive relevant information.

Submitted incident reports are emailed to the client and retained in the portal history. Shared documents are also available there, giving the customer a way to review information during the closure and when returning to work.

Smartoo supports dated activity records and site reporting. These capabilities help operations organise the recorded information across the period, while hourly patrol photographs support the regular guarding updates.

The customer can refer to the reported account rather than depend on the memory of whichever officer was present on a particular night.

Arrange the reopening handover

We organise the booked finish around the point at which your team resumes responsibility. Relevant reported concerns can be passed to the returning contact, allowing the working day to begin with useful information.

If reopening is delayed, speak to operations about continuing the cover. The additional shifts and revised price can then be confirmed.

For customers who close at the same time each year or follow a regular weekend pattern, we can discuss a planned arrangement for future periods.

Call 0203 668 3654 to organise shutdown security or specialist detection.

Account for the exceptions during a shutdown

Even a largely closed premises may have a maintenance day, a scheduled collection or an early return by part of the workforce. Include those exceptions when discussing the security period.

They can affect access duties and the hours when an entrance needs attention. The canine patrol can continue around designated areas while any separate fixed role handles expected arrivals.

A longer closure also benefits from an identified reopening contact. That person can receive the relevant handover and review submitted reports. Organising these details gives the cover a clear beginning, working period and finish instead of treating several different days as one undifferentiated booking.

Clear prices before you book

Selected planned, recurring security dog-handler assignments start from £16.50 + VAT per hour. This starting rate does not apply automatically to every booking. Your quotation identifies the service, hours, applicable rate and any additional charges.

Single shifts, temporary projects, urgent requirements, nights, weekends and bank holidays can all be quoted. Drug detection dog hire is priced separately for the search assignment. If you want guarding and detection together, we explain both elements in the proposal.
