Stockport and Manchester sites are managed directly from our Greater Manchester head office. For other cities, we confirm cover after reviewing each site’s location, requirements and staffing availability.
Stockport base, UK coverage
USSG’s head office is in Stockport, Greater Manchester. We also have regional offices in London and Cardiff. Our office locations and service coverage are different: a city listed as an enquiry area does not mean that USSG has an office there.
We welcome enquiries for sites in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The location, access arrangements, service requirements and available resources determine whether and how a proposed assignment can be delivered.
North West England
Discuss requirements for Stockport, Manchester, Salford, Liverpool and Preston. For sites around our Greater Manchester base, include the full postcode so we can assess the location and the support needed.
Yorkshire and North East England
Midlands and East of England
Contact us about sites in Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, Milton Keynes, Cambridge and Norwich. Service availability is reviewed against the requirements of each assignment.
London and Southern England
Discuss your requirements for London, Oxford, Brighton & Hove, Southampton, Portsmouth, Bristol, Exeter and Plymouth. Include any access restrictions and the hours during which work would need to take place.
Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
We welcome enquiries for Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee and Belfast. Contact us to establish the scope, staffing and delivery arrangements appropriate to your location.
If your town is not listed, you can still enquire. The locations above are enquiry areas, not a list of additional offices or a guarantee of immediate availability.
Which services can you discuss with USSG?
Key holding and alarm response
Discuss key holding and attendance following alarm activations. Site access, escalation contacts, attendance arrangements and reporting are agreed before the service starts. Any required response times must be discussed and confirmed for the specific location.
Commercial cleaning and facilities support
Discuss cleaning and premises-support requirements around your building’s use, access arrangements, working hours and required standards. We confirm the tasks and delivery arrangements appropriate to the site.
Explore commercial cleaning or discuss a facilities support requirement.
We also provide construction site security, retail security, event security, office security, vacant property security, waking watch, K9 security, CCTV and car park management. See all services.
Specialist requirements may involve specialist suppliers. Where this applies, the delivery arrangement and service scope are explained before a booking is agreed.
How we confirm cover for your site
- Share the location. Provide the full address and postcode, site type and any access restrictions.
- Explain the requirement. Tell us which service you need, the proposed start date, working hours and expected duration.
- Agree the next step. We review the enquiry and, where appropriate, arrange a site assessment before confirming scope, staffing, reporting and pricing.
For several locations, send a list of sites and the requirements for each. Availability and delivery arrangements are assessed for each location; confirming one site does not automatically confirm all others.
