Imperial Security provides hotel and concierge security guards for hotels, residential apartment buildings and corporate offices across Romford. Our guards greet visitors, manage access at reception and entrances, and patrol communal areas, giving building managers a professional front-of-house presence alongside a visible security function.
This service suits any Romford site where staff need to combine a welcoming manner with consistent control over who comes and goes.
Romford town centre is being rebuilt around its Elizabeth line station, and that is changing what buildings in the area need from front-of-house cover. New apartment conversions such as Papermill House and St Edwards Court have added hundreds of flats close to the station, the Rom Valley Gardens scheme is bringing roughly a million square feet of homes, retail and healthcare space to the old ice rink site, and separate plans for the Market Place area include a new hotel with a rooftop bar. Buildings that once managed with a locked door and a buzzer now have shared lobbies, delivery flows and out-of-hours visitors to think about.
For hotels and managed apartment blocks, this growth means more footfall through reception at more hours of the day. For corporate buildings near the station, faster journey times into central London and Canary Wharf mean more staff, visitors and contractors passing through front-of-house each week. Our guards are trained to manage that volume without making a building feel like it is under lockdown.

| What Our Romford Hotel & Concierge Security Service Provides
Romford's hotels, apartment lobbies and office receptions each need the same core cover, adapted to daily footfall and layout.
Welcome and assist visitors with professionalism
Our guards are often the first point of contact for guests and residents, giving directions, managing check-ins and keeping a courteous front desk presence throughout the day.
Monitor entrances and control access
We keep entry points under consistent watch, checking that only authorised residents, guests or staff pass through, and using visitor logs or electronic systems where a site already has them.
Carry out regular patrols
Scheduled internal and external patrols cover lobbies, car parks, stairwells and communal areas, picking up on anything unusual before it becomes a bigger problem.
Respond promptly to emergencies
Our guards follow set emergency response steps, including evacuation assistance, incident reporting and coordinating with the emergency services when they attend.
Report maintenance and safety issues
Guards flag blocked fire exits, lighting faults and water leaks as they patrol, helping building managers keep the premises safe between formal inspections.
Represent your building with the right tone
Guards balance a friendly, professional manner with a clear security role, so residents and guests feel looked after rather than policed.
| Who We Provide Hotel & Concierge Security For In Romford
Our Romford clients cover a mix of hospitality, residential and commercial buildings, each with its own front-of-house pressures.
Hotels and serviced accommodation
With new hotel space planned around Romford's Market Place, hotel operators need a consistent front desk and lobby presence at all hours, including outside peak check-in times.
Residential apartment buildings
Blocks such as those converted near the station bring shared lobbies and communal entrances that need proper access control rather than an unmanned door.
Corporate offices with front-of-house needs
Office buildings near the town centre want a manned reception that reassures staff and visitors while keeping unauthorised callers out.
Mixed-use and retail-adjacent buildings
Developments combining retail, homes and amenity space, like the emerging Rom Valley Gardens site, need front-of-house cover that understands multiple types of visitor moving through one building.
We also support managing agents and facilities teams who oversee several Romford buildings and want one consistent standard of front-of-house cover across their portfolio.
| The Security Problems We Solve In Romford
Romford's redevelopment is bringing more residents, hotel guests and office workers into buildings that were not always designed for today's footfall. That shift creates specific front-of-house pressures for the people running these buildings.
Unmanaged access in converted apartment blocks
Older buildings converted into flats often rely on entry systems alone. Our guards add a human presence at the entrance, checking that access matches who is actually expected in the building.
Construction and contractor traffic near live buildings
With several large sites under development around the town centre, occupied buildings nearby see more delivery vehicles, contractors and unfamiliar faces. We manage this traffic at the door so day-to-day operations are not disrupted.
Guest and resident volume outpacing existing front desk cover
Faster rail links are drawing more visitors and residents into Romford, and a single receptionist can struggle to manage both a busy desk and the entrance at the same time. Our guards take on the entrance role so front desk staff can focus on service.
Out-of-hours cover gaps in hotels and serviced buildings
Hotels and buildings with late check-ins or shift workers need someone on the door outside normal office hours. We provide guards for overnight and weekend shifts so cover does not drop off when staffing is thinnest.
