Imperial Security provides corporate security guards for offices, financial and professional services firms, and commercial buildings across Edgware, from Station Road and the Broadwalk Centre to the smaller office suites along Whitchurch Lane and the Edgwarebury Lane approach.
We cover reception and access control, out-of-hours building checks and general risk mitigation for landlords, managing agents and individual tenants. Guards are SIA-licensed, vetted and briefed on your building's procedures before their first shift, so cover can start quickly whether you need daytime reception presence, a lone evening patrol or a full 24/7 rota.
Edgware's commercial core is changing. Ballymore and Places for London have permission for a £1.7 billion, decade-long redevelopment of the Broadwalk Centre and surrounding Station Road land, including more than 50,000 sq ft of new office and workspace alongside retail, homes and a rebuilt bus garage. For businesses operating in and around that site, this means years of phased construction next to trading premises, shifting pedestrian routes, and a steady turnover of new occupiers moving into finished units as each phase completes.
That combination of live building work, changing access routes and new tenants settling in raises the bar for reception and access control. Businesses need guards who can manage legitimate footfall confidently while keeping an eye on who has no reason to be in the building, and who understand that a site's access arrangements this quarter may not be the same next quarter.

| What Our Edgware Corporate Security Service Provides
Our guards work across Edgware's office buildings, professional practices and mixed-use commercial units, from small suites to multi-tenant blocks near the town centre.
Front-of-house reception and concierge cover
A professional first point of contact for staff and visitors, managing sign-ins, deliveries and enquiries with courtesy and discretion at your Edgware office entrance.
Access control and visitor management
Controlling who enters staff areas, server rooms and private offices, checking passes and signing in contractors so only authorised people reach sensitive parts of the building.
Surveillance monitoring and reporting
Watching CCTV feeds, logging incidents accurately and flagging anything unusual, including activity linked to nearby construction traffic or altered access routes.
Emergency response and evacuation assistance
Trained in evacuation procedures so your building can respond calmly to a fire alarm or other incident until the emergency services take over.
Perimeter patrols and premises checks
Regular internal and external patrols to deter trespassing and check fire exits, loading areas and car parks, reporting any hazard or maintenance issue promptly.
Out-of-hours and lone-worker cover
Overnight and weekend checks for offices that sit quiet outside working hours, with clear welfare arrangements for any guard working alone on site.
| Who We Provide Corporate Security For In Edgware
Our corporate security clients in Edgware range from single-tenant offices to shared commercial buildings with several businesses under one roof.
Office landlords and managing agents
Buildings with multiple tenants need a single point of accountability for access, deliveries and visitor sign-in across shared reception areas.
Financial and professional services firms
Advisory and legal practices handling sensitive client information need controlled access and a calm, professional reception presence.
Small and medium businesses
Local SMEs often need part-time or scalable cover rather than a fixed full-time guard, particularly during busy trading periods.
New occupiers moving into redeveloped units
Businesses fitting out new office and workspace units as the town centre redevelopment completes need interim and ongoing site security during the move-in period.
We also support healthcare and community premises near Edgware Community Hospital, and retail units along the High Street that need occasional corporate-style reception or access control cover.
| The Security Problems We Solve In Edgware
The Broadwalk Centre and Station Road redevelopment is reshaping Edgware's commercial core over the next decade, and that scale of change brings practical security questions for businesses operating nearby.
Construction activity next to trading premises
Years of phased building work mean deliveries, contractor vehicles and site hoardings can sit close to occupied offices. Our guards manage pedestrian and vehicle access around these pinch points so staff and visitors reach your entrance safely.
Shifting access routes and temporary layouts
Redevelopment phasing can change how staff, visitors and deliveries reach a building from one quarter to the next. We keep access procedures current on site and brief guards on the latest arrangements rather than relying on outdated plans.
Multi-tenant buildings with shared entrances
Where several businesses share one reception or stairwell, unclear responsibility for access control is a common gap. A single dedicated guard at the main entrance closes that gap for every tenant.
Quiet premises outside office hours
Offices near the town centre can sit empty overnight and at weekends while surrounding streets remain busy with construction traffic. Scheduled checks and, where needed, static overnight cover reduce that exposure.
| Why Choose Imperial Security In Edgware
Local operating knowledge
Edgware sits within the London Borough of Barnet and is home to the borough's first Business Improvement District, covering Station Road, the Broadwalk Centre, High Street and the surrounding commercial streets. We understand the coordinated approach to safety and presentation that BID membership brings, and we work alongside it rather than in isolation.
We cover businesses across Edgware and neighbouring postcodes including Stanmore, Burnt Oak and Mill Hill.
Guards who adapt to a changing site
With a decade of redevelopment ahead for the town centre, we brief guards on current site conditions at each visit rather than a fixed procedure, so cover stays reliable as access routes and neighbouring premises change.
