Imperial Security provides SIA licensed door supervisors for pubs, bars, nightclubs and events across Bexley, covering town centres including Bexleyheath, Welling, Sidcup, Erith and Crayford.
Our door supervisors handle ID and age verification, entry management, crowd control and incident response, so licensees meet their conditions and customers feel safe from open to close. Whether you run a single venue or need cover for a one-off event, our guards work to your licence conditions and house policy from the first shift.
Bexley Council operates a saturation policy for licensed premises in Bexleyheath and Welling town centres, meaning new licence applications and material variations in those areas face closer scrutiny of their impact on crime, disorder and public nuisance. Venues in these locations are more likely to have door supervision written into their licence conditions, and getting cover right matters both for compliance and for renewal.
Standard licence conditions in the borough commonly require door supervisors on duty from a set opening time through to when the last customer has left, with mandatory cover on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in particular. Our guards are briefed on your specific conditions, including any search policy, before their first shift.

| The Security Problems We Solve In Bexley
Bexley's saturation policy in Bexleyheath and Welling means licensing sub-committees look closely at how new and renewing venues manage their impact, and door supervision is often the deciding factor in a smooth renewal.
Licence conditions requiring named door cover
Many premises in the borough operate under conditions specifying door supervisor numbers and hours, particularly Thursday to Saturday. We staff to your exact condition wording so you are never short at inspection.
Queuing and dispersal outside venues
Bexleyheath Broadway and Welling High Street see queues building outside busy venues at kicking-out time. Our guards manage the queue and dispersal so noise and congestion do not become a nuisance complaint.
Underage and fake ID attempts
Venues near transport links and residential areas see repeated attempts by underage customers to gain entry. Our door supervisors are trained to spot fake or borrowed ID and refuse entry professionally.
Repeat troublemakers and banned individuals
Some premises deal with individuals who have been barred returning under different circumstances. Our guards keep records and recognise repeat issues so bans are enforced consistently.
