SIA-Licensed Residential Security
Residential Security Services
Residential security is the professional protection of private homes, estates and high-value properties. It encompasses manned guarding, access control, mobile patrols and alarm response — and can be integrated with close protection for the principal and family members. VIP Protection Services provides SIA-licensed residential security from London, across the UK and for international properties by arrangement.
We work with private clients, high-net-worth individuals, families and public figures. Every assignment begins with a confidential threat and risk assessment of the property and its occupants. We advise honestly on the appropriate level of security for your circumstances.

How residential security works
- 01
Confidential enquiry
Contact us by phone, WhatsApp or the enquiry form. All initial discussions are confidential. We sign an NDA before any operational detail is exchanged.
- 02
Property and threat assessment
We conduct a threat and risk assessment covering the property, its occupants, the surrounding area and any identified threats. This informs the level and type of security recommended.
- 03
Written quotation
We provide an itemised written quotation. There is no obligation to proceed. Costs depend on the number of officers, hours of coverage, duration and any specialist requirements.
- 04
Briefing and deployment
Officers are fully briefed on the property, its occupants and any specific requirements. Deployment is coordinated to ensure seamless coverage from day one.
- 05
Ongoing management
For ongoing assignments we maintain regular communication, conduct periodic reviews and adapt the security plan as circumstances change.
What affects the security requirement?
The appropriate level of residential security depends on a threat and risk assessment specific to the property and its occupants. Factors we consider include:
- Public profile and media exposure of the principal
- Nature and credibility of any identified threat
- Size and layout of the property
- Location — urban, suburban or rural
- Existing security infrastructure — CCTV, alarms, access control
- Number of family members and staff requiring protection
- Regularity of visitors and deliveries
- Proximity to public areas or transport links
What affects cost?
We do not publish standard rates. Each assignment is assessed individually and we provide an itemised written quotation. Cost is influenced by:
- Number of security officers required
- Hours of coverage — day shifts, night shifts or 24-hour
- Duration of the assignment — short-term or ongoing
- Complexity of the property and access points
- Mobile patrol requirements
- Integration with close protection services
- Specialist requirements — CCTV monitoring, alarm response
