About USSG

The Security Company UK Businesses Have Relied On Since 2016

USSG is a professional security company UK organisations have trusted since 2016. We were founded in Stockport, Greater Manchester, and have grown entirely through consistent delivery rather than aggressive sales. Every officer we deploy is directly employed by USSG. We do not use subcontractors or agency workers on any contract. Every officer holds a valid SIA licence and has been vetted to BS 7858 standard, covering employment history, criminal records and identity verification.

From Manchester and Birmingham to London, Leeds and Liverpool, our teams provide manned guarding, mobile patrols, key holding, alarm response, CCTV monitoring and vacant property security. We hold SIA Approved Contractor status, ISO 9001 certification, Constructionline Gold membership, BICSc accreditation and Cyber Essentials. With Martyn’s Law now in force across the UK, many businesses are reviewing their security. If you are unsure whether your current provision meets the standard required, contact us and we will give you an honest answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from businesses looking for security cover across the UK.
Straight answers, no waffle.

The cost depends on the type of cover required, the number of hours and the location of your site. SIA licensed manned guarding generally starts from £14 to £22 per hour. Specialist roles including waking watch officers, event security and construction site guards are priced based on the specific job requirements. USSG sends you a fixed written quotation before anything starts. There is no guesswork and no extras added to your invoice later.
Yes. Every officer deployed by USSG holds a valid SIA licence covering the activity they are carrying out, whether that is Security Guarding, Door Supervision or CCTV Operations. All officers are vetted to BS 7858 standard before any deployment, which covers employment history, criminal record checks and identity verification going back five years. We do not use agency workers or subcontractors on any contract.

Yes. USSG operates nationwide from our head office in Stockport, Greater Manchester, with regional teams in London and Cardiff. We regularly deploy to Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Bristol, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Southampton and all major UK cities. If you are unsure whether we cover your location, call us and we will confirm immediately.

Most new contracts are operational within 24 to 48 hours of written confirmation. For genuine emergencies including break-ins, unexpected vulnerabilities or events brought forward at short notice, we can deploy SIA licensed officers the same day. Call our operations team on 0330 341 2124 and we will confirm availability straightaway.
Manned guarding means a dedicated SIA licensed officer stationed at your premises for the agreed shift, providing continuous on-site protection. Mobile patrols involve an officer visiting your site at agreed times and randomised intervals to carry out checks and deter unauthorised access. Many clients use a combination of both. USSG will assess your site and recommend the right mix based on the actual risk, not the most expensive option.
