    Mitie Security Alternative in London — 2026 Boutique Comparison

    ComparisonsBy Roy · Director, VIP Protection Services2 July 20269 min read

    TL;DR: Mitie Security Alternative in London — 2026 Boutique Comparison. SIA-licensed, insured. Written quote, usually the same working day. Call 020 3488 5714, WhatsApp available, email enquiries.vip.protection.service@mail.com.

    Mitie is a large national FM-and-security provider. If you want a specialist close-protection boutique instead — no call-centre triage, no rotating guards — this is the London alternative.

    Where Mitie Fits — and Where It Doesn't

    Mitie is strong on national manned guarding, cleaning-plus-security bundles and corporate FM. It is not a specialist close-protection provider. For UHNW, celebrity or executive CP, most clients want a boutique.

    What a Boutique Gives You Instead

    One director as your point of contact. Directly employed core CPOs. Vetting files on the table before deployment. Written itemised quote, usually the same working day — no 'from £X' hedging.

    Pricing Comparison — London 2026

    National firms: pricing confirmed in a written quote guard rate; corporate overhead priced in. Boutique CP: pricing confirmed in a written quote with senior SIA CP-licensed officers on the door — not entry-level guarding.

    TUPE-Clean Handover

    We regularly transition contracts from national providers with zero downtime — written transition plan, staff continuity where wanted, kit and comms cutover on a single date.

    How to Switch This Week

    Call 020 3488 5714. Site walk within 48 hours. Written quote, usually the same working day of the walk. Live in 5–10 working days.
