Imperial Security provides SIA licensed corporate security guards for offices, business parks and commercial premises across Barnet, covering front of house reception, access control, patrols and emergency response.
Our guards work with corporate tenants at North London Business Park, multi-tenant office buildings around the town centre and firms based near the High Street and The Spires, giving facilities and office managers a service built around Barnet's mix of campus offices and smaller commercial space.
Barnet's corporate space splits between two distinct settings: the campus-style offices at North London Business Park, a 35-acre site of modern buildings shared with New Southgate and Brunswick Park, and the smaller commercial units above and around the High Street and The Spires shopping centre in the town centre. Each has its own access challenges, from shared building entrances used by both office tenants and shoppers to car parks and service areas that see far less footfall once the retail day ends.
These conditions mean a corporate security plan for Barnet needs to cover reception and access control for campus office buildings as well as smaller, self-contained units let above retail premises. Our guards are briefed on the specific layout of each site, whether that is a single tenant floor or a shared entrance serving several businesses, so cover matches how the building is actually used.

| What Our Barnet Corporate Security Service Provides
Our six core duties are built around the way Barnet's office buildings and business premises actually operate, from campus reception desks to shared entrances above the High Street.
Front of house security
Our guards provide a professional welcome at reception, checking visitors in and keeping unauthorised people out of office floors and meeting areas.
Access control management
We manage keycard systems, visitor logs and deliveries at every entry point, which matters in shared buildings where several tenants use the same street door.
Internal and external patrols
Regular patrols cover corridors, car parks and service areas, including the quieter car parking around North London Business Park after office hours.
Emergency response coordination
If there is a fire alarm, medical incident or security threat, our guards act on your procedures and liaise with the emergency services to keep disruption to a minimum.
Incident reporting and documentation
Every incident, irregularity and site check is logged, giving you a clear record for compliance, insurance and internal review.
Conflict de-escalation and visitor interaction
Our guards are trained to handle disputes calmly and professionally, supporting reception staff and visitors without escalating a situation.
| Who We Provide Corporate Security For In Barnet
Barnet's corporate security clients range across the borough's office stock, from single-occupier campus buildings to smaller shared units in the town centre.
Office headquarters at North London Business Park
Businesses based on the campus need consistent reception cover and access control across a large site with several buildings and shared car parking.
Multi-tenant office buildings
Where several businesses share one entrance, landlords and managing agents rely on us to control access and keep the building secure for every tenant.
Professional services firms near the High Street
Solicitors, accountants and other firms working from first-floor offices above retail units need a visible, professional presence at street level.
Property and facilities managers
Managing agents responsible for commercial premises across Barnet use our guards for out-of-hours patrols and a single point of contact for site security.
We also support retail units, warehouses and construction sites elsewhere in the borough, so if your business covers more than one type of premises we can put a consistent guarding standard across all of them.
| The Security Problems We Solve In Barnet
Barnet's town centre combines retail, leisure and office space in the same buildings, which creates access risks that a purely retail or purely office security plan does not cover. Shared entrances, quieter car parks once shops close and inconsistent visitor checks are the issues we are asked to solve most often.
Shared entrances and tailgating
Where an office sits above a shop or shares a lobby with other tenants, it is easy for someone to follow a genuine visitor through the door. Our guards check every visitor and delivery against your access list rather than assuming they belong.
Inconsistent visitor and contractor checks
Multi-tenant buildings often have no single point of control for visitors and contractors. We manage sign-in, badges and escorting so every business in the building benefits from the same standard.
Quiet car parks and service areas after hours
Car parking at North London Business Park and service yards around the town centre see far less footfall once the working day ends. Scheduled patrols keep these areas visible and deter opportunist access.
Gaps in emergency cover
Smaller offices without an on-site security team can be caught out by a fire alarm or medical incident outside office hours. Our guards are trained to respond immediately and follow your procedures until the emergency services arrive.
| Why Choose Imperial Security In Barnet
Local operating knowledge
We know the difference between the office floors at North London Business Park, a 35-acre campus shared with New Southgate and Brunswick Park close to Whetstone and Southgate stations, and the smaller commercial units above the High Street around The Spires shopping centre. Guards are briefed on the entrance layout, access points and quiet hours specific to each site before deployment.
We cover Barnet postcodes including EN4 and EN5 along with the neighbouring N2, N3, N12 and N20 areas.
Built around mixed-use buildings
Many Barnet office buildings share their entrance with retail or leisure units, so we plan cover around the whole building rather than treating office space in isolation.
