ZimCos Security Ltd offers mobile patrols in Watford for premises needing visits at agreed intervals. A patrol brief sets out the checks, access permissions, visit schedule and reporting required for each property.
Choose visits or continuous guarding
Mobile patrols suit periodic checks. They leave gaps between visits, so they are different from a guard remaining on site. If a gate must always be staffed or an incident needs an immediate on-site response, discuss continuous cover.
Our Patrol Options in Watford
External checks
Specify gates, fences, doors, accessible windows and signs of damage. Identify any areas that cannot safely be approached after dark.
Internal inspections
Where authorised, agree the rooms and checks included, alarm procedures and what the officer must not operate. Do not send keys, alarm codes or detailed security plans through a public enquiry form.
Locking and unlocking
Confirm the scheduled times, occupancy checks, exceptions and who authorises a late departure. A written handover reduces uncertainty over whether a premises is ready to be secured.
Reporting and escalation
Specify what each visit record should contain: attendance time, checks completed, exceptions and follow-up actions. Agree when a photograph is appropriate and who may receive it. Any GPS evidence, reporting platform or delivery deadline should be confirmed in the service proposal.
Patrols, keyholding and alarm attendance
Scheduled patrol visits and reactive alarm attendance are different tasks. If you need both, include keyholding and alarm response explicitly. Agree call-out charges and the route for escalation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are patrols the same as 24-hour guarding?
No. Patrols are visits; continuous guarding keeps an officer at the premises during the booked hours.
Can you check several properties?
Send the addresses and requirements for each location so route suitability and pricing can be assessed.
Will every visit happen at a fixed minute?
Agree whether you need a defined time or a visit window. Do not assume either arrangement until it is confirmed.
