Liverpool & surrounding enquiries
Give us the address, not just the area
Enquire about Liverpool city-centre premises, a business in the Baltic Triangle or another Liverpool location. Send the full postcode, the entrance to use and the days and hours you need covered.
- Liverpool city centre
- Baltic Triangle
- Other Liverpool locations
The Baltic Triangle includes business and residential uses. If your premises share an entrance, yard or building with others, identify the boundaries of the security assignment and who can authorise access.
For a site elsewhere in Merseyside, include its town and postcode. Availability for that address is assessed separately.
USSG’s head office is in Stockport, Greater Manchester. Liverpool is a service enquiry area; this map does not show a USSG branch or a guaranteed response boundary.

Plan how people and deliveries move through your premises
For a shared building, shop, office or working site, define what happens at each entrance. Security instructions should distinguish an expected visitor from an unannounced arrival and identify who can approve an exception.
| Activity | Information needed | Responsibility to agree |
|---|---|---|
| Staff and tenant access | Normal hours, shared entrances and permitted areas. | Who can approve access outside the normal pattern. |
| Visitors and contractors | Appointment contacts, sign-in requirements and any restricted areas. | Who confirms the visit and whether an escort is required. |
| Deliveries and collections | Delivery windows, vehicle entry points and receiving contacts. | What the officer checks and who accepts the delivery. |
| Closing the premises | Staff departure arrangements, authorised late access and alarm contacts. | Which closing checks are included in the assignment. |
| Unexpected incidents | The site contact, escalation route and reporting requirements. | When concerns are escalated and how actions are recorded. |
Presence during a shift or attendance after an alarm?
Security guarding provides an officer for the agreed hours. Key holding and alarm response provides an agreed response arrangement and does not mean an officer stays on site. Decide which duties require a continuous presence before choosing the service.
From a Liverpool enquiry to agreed site instructions
A workable assignment needs more than a start date. Define the duties, contacts and access arrangements so everyone understands what the service includes.

How is security cover in Liverpool priced?
The cost depends on the service, number of officers, shift pattern, duties and assignment duration. Site access, reporting requirements and any additional attendance should be clear in the specification.
For key holding and alarm response, ask about holding charges and call-out terms. Compare providers against the same duties and hours rather than an hourly rate on its own.

Liverpool security FAQs
Practical answers about access duties, shared buildings, availability and requesting a quote.
What security services can I request in Liverpool?
USSG accepts enquiries for manned guarding, key holding and alarm response for Liverpool premises. Guarding can cover agreed duties at offices, retail premises, construction sites and vacant properties. Scope, staffing and availability are confirmed after reviewing the site.
Can guards manage visitors and deliveries?
Visitor checks and delivery access can form part of an agreed guarding assignment. Specify the checks required, authorised contacts and how exceptions should be handled. Confirm separately who accepts goods or authorises a visitor; do not assume those responsibilities are included.
Can you provide security for a shared building?
Discuss the entrances, units and shared areas that fall within your requirement. Identify which occupiers can authorise access and where the officer’s responsibilities end. These details should be recorded in the assignment instructions.
Do you have a Liverpool office?
USSG’s head office is in Stockport, Greater Manchester. This page is for Liverpool service enquiries, not a Liverpool branch listing. Send the exact address and requested hours to confirm whether suitable cover can be arranged.
Can I request cover for evenings or weekends?
Yes, you can request specific evening or weekend shifts. Provide the dates, hours and duties when you enquire. Staffing and the proposed start date must be confirmed before booking; 24/7 support is not a guarantee of immediate deployment.
Are your security officers licensed and screened?
USSG security assignments use directly employed, SIA-licensed officers screened to BS 7858 before deployment. The company holds SIA Approved Contractor Scheme approval for Security Guarding and Key Holding. Current evidence is available on the memberships and accreditations page.
Does key holding include continuous on-site security?
No. Key holding and alarm response provide an agreed arrangement for keys and alarm activations. An officer remaining on site for a shift is a separate guarding requirement. Agree attendance procedures, access and applicable charges before the service starts.
How do I request a Liverpool security quote?
Call 0330 341 2124 or use the contact page with your Liverpool postcode, site type, hours, required duties and start date. USSG reviews the requirement before confirming scope and pricing. General office hours are Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:00, with 24/7 support arrangements for service delivery.
