Home should feel safe

Apartment blocks, gated developments and private estates all need someone who knows who belongs there. We provide concierge officers, gatehouse cover, patrols and alarm response, so residents come home to a building that's looked after.

Strangers follow residents in.

Where we fit

Where Ignis Shield fits at home.

The services managing agents and homeowners ask us for most.

  • Concierge and gatehouse

    An officer on the desk or the gate who signs visitors in, takes deliveries and keeps strangers out.

    Residential concierge & front of house
  • Doors, fobs and gates

    Entry systems that let residents in easily, with records of who used which door and when.

    Access control
  • CCTV over shared spaces

    Cameras on entrances, car parks and bin stores, checked by the officer on duty.

    CCTV surveillance
  • Alarms with a response

    Intruder alarms linked to officers who attend and check the property, not a siren nobody answers.

How it works

From first visit to first night.

  1. 01

    Survey

    We walk the building or estate with you or your managing agent: doors, gates, car parks and dark corners.

  2. 02

    House rules

    Visitor, parcel and contractor rules agreed, along with what officers should and shouldn't handle.

  3. 03

    On duty

    Officers cover the desk, the gate or the patrol route and keep a running log of who came and went.

  4. 04

    Report

    Regular reports to the agent or homeowner, and an incident report the same day if anything happens.

This space is kept for a client's own words, once a client agrees to be quoted.

FAQ

Questions residents and agents ask.

Can one officer do concierge and security?

Yes. Our front of house officers deal with visitors, parcels and resident questions while keeping watch on the building.

Do you protect private homes as well as blocks?

Yes. We cover private houses and estates with patrols, alarm response and, where it's needed, a static officer.

Can you cover nights only?

Yes. Many buildings want a daytime concierge and an overnight officer, or night cover alone. We plan the hours around you.

What if the fire alarm system is out of action?

We can provide a waking watch: officers patrol the building to spot a fire early, raise the alarm and help residents out.

Will residents see the same officers?

We aim to keep a regular team on each building, so residents know who's on duty.
