Imperial Security provides SIA-licensed corporate security guards for offices, financial premises and commercial sites across Havering, covering Romford, Hornchurch, Rainham and the surrounding business areas.
Our guards manage reception and access control, monitor visitors and deliveries, patrol multi-tenant buildings and respond to incidents, giving facilities managers a dependable presence for legal, financial, tech and public sector tenants alike.
Havering's commercial base is split between Romford town centre's office and retail floorspace, managed locally through the Romford Town Centre Business Improvement District, and the industrial and business park sites around Rainham, including the London Riverside BID area and multi-unit developments such as Beam Reach 5. That split means a single security approach rarely fits the whole borough: town centre offices need front-of-house cover and visitor management, while Rainham's business units need perimeter checks, access control and out-of-hours patrols across shared yards and car parks.
Imperial Security works with both types of site, adapting guard deployment to the building rather than applying a standard package. Every guard is briefed on the specific premises, its access points and its emergency procedures before starting a shift.

| What Our Havering Corporate Security Service Provides
Whether the building is a Romford office block or a Rainham business unit, these six duties cover the day-to-day needs of Havering's commercial tenants.
Access control and visitor management
Our guards monitor entrances, sign in visitors, verify deliveries and keep accurate logs, so Havering offices maintain tight access control while still feeling welcoming to staff and clients.
Reception and front-of-house security
We place guards who work as professional receptionists as well as security cover, trained in customer service so your business runs smoothly while entrances stay properly controlled.
CCTV monitoring and alarm response
Manned guarding is paired with CCTV surveillance, giving your Havering premises cover around the clock and a swift response whenever an alarm is triggered or activity looks wrong.
Internal patrols and perimeter checks
Routine patrols of corridors, car parks and building perimeters deter opportunist threats and let issues get picked up and reported before they escalate.
Staff and customer safety
Guards are trained to de-escalate confrontations, assist with evacuations and support your team and customers throughout the working day.
Emergency response and incident reporting
If an incident occurs, our guards take charge, report accurately and work with emergency services or your management team as needed.
| Who We Provide Corporate Security For In Havering
Havering's mix of town centre offices and business park units brings in a range of corporate clients, each with slightly different priorities.
Legal and financial firms
Romford's office floorspace includes legal and financial practices handling sensitive client files, who need controlled entry and a professional front-of-house presence.
Tech and public sector tenants
Shared office buildings house tech firms and public sector teams that need consistent access control across a multi-tenant building rather than a single dedicated entrance.
Business park and industrial unit occupiers
Rainham's business park units, including start-up and established occupiers on multi-unit sites, need perimeter checks and access control across shared yards and car parking.
Multi-tenant commercial landlords
Landlords managing shared commercial buildings need one security provider that can coordinate access, deliveries and incident response across every tenant on site.
| The Security Problems We Solve In Havering
Havering's commercial growth, from Romford's office and retail core to Rainham's expanding business park sites, is bringing more tenants and more visitors onto premises that were not always designed for multi-occupier use. That drives most of the enquiries we get from facilities managers in the borough.
Uncontrolled access in shared buildings
Multi-tenant offices and business units often have several entrances used by different occupiers, which makes it hard to know who is on site. Our guards centralise sign-in and monitor every access point so building managers always have an accurate picture.
Deliveries and contractors going unverified
Busy office and business park sites receive frequent deliveries and contractor visits, which can be an easy way for someone unauthorised to get inside. We verify every delivery and contractor against a booking before granting access.
Out-of-hours vulnerability on business park sites
Rainham's industrial and business units can sit quiet outside office hours, leaving stock, equipment and vehicles exposed. Scheduled patrols and alarm response cover the site when staff are not present.
Reputation risk from a poorly managed front desk
For client-facing firms in Romford, a disorganised reception reflects on the business itself. Placing a guard trained in customer service at front-of-house keeps the first impression professional as well as secure.
