Imperial Security provides construction site security for developments across Putney, covering everything from High Street mixed-use schemes to smaller residential refurbishments off the main roads.
Our SIA-licensed guards work with site managers and contractors to control access, protect plant and materials, and keep sites secure overnight and at weekends when they are otherwise unattended. Whether you need a single gatehouse guard or a full night-time patrol team, we can scale cover to match your programme.
Putney High Street currently has several live and reactivated schemes running close together, including the demolition and rebuild at the corner hotel site and pavement widening works nearby, alongside a large mixed-use block at 49-53 Putney High Street that has stood vacant for several years and is now seeing renewed interest from its owner. Sites like these, positioned on a busy retail and transport corridor, face constant footfall past their hoardings and are more exposed to opportunist access attempts than developments on quieter residential streets.
Beyond the High Street, Putney's ongoing residential and mixed-use activity around Upper Richmond Road and the riverside means contractors are regularly working on sites with limited storage space and tight delivery windows. Our guards are used to these conditions and can adapt patrol routes and access procedures to fit a live build programme rather than a fixed template.

| What Our Putney Construction Site Security Service Provides
We cover everything from High Street redevelopment sites to smaller residential builds tucked behind terraced streets.
Access control and gatehouse duties
Our guards manage every entry and exit point, checking identification against approved lists and keeping a visitor log so site managers know exactly who is on site at any time.
Perimeter and internal site patrols
Regular walked patrols around the hoarding line and through active work areas pick up trespass attempts, damaged fencing or unsafe conditions before they become a bigger problem.
Protection of tools, equipment and materials
Plant, tools and delivered materials are checked against site records, with our guards positioned to spot unauthorised removal or interference as soon as it happens.
Monitoring of CCTV and alarm systems
Where a site already has CCTV or an intruder alarm fitted, our guards monitor the feed overnight and respond immediately if a system is triggered.
Health and safety compliance support
Guards flag obvious hazards, such as blocked fire routes or unsecured openings, to site supervisors so conditions stay safe for workers and passers-by.
Out of hours lone working checks
When contractors need to work outside normal hours, our guards provide a visible presence and welfare checks so lone workers are never left unsupported on site.
| Who We Provide Construction Site Security For In Putney
Our clients range from large-scale developers to small contractors managing a single conversion.
Developers managing mixed-use schemes
Larger High Street projects need continuous cover across long build programmes, including quiet periods between phases when a site can sit unattended.
Main contractors on commercial fit-outs
Fit-out contractors working inside occupied buildings need guards who understand shared access points and can keep the wider building secure as well as the works area.
Residential builders and renovators
Smaller residential projects on terraced streets often lack space to store materials off-site, making an on-site guard the practical way to protect deliveries.
Site managers covering vacant units
Buildings left empty ahead of redevelopment, such as long-vacant retail units awaiting a new scheme, need a guard presence to deter squatting and vandalism.
| The Security Problems We Solve In Putney
Renewed building activity on Putney High Street and around the wider town centre has brought more hoarded sites, more deliveries and more foot traffic passing close to work areas, all of which increase the chance of an unauthorised entry or a lost item going unnoticed.
Trespass and unauthorised access
Hoarded sites on a busy High Street attract curious passers-by and occasionally deliberate intruders. A staffed access point with a visitor log stops unauthorised people getting past the gate.
Theft of tools and materials
Portable tools and delivered materials are common targets, particularly overnight. Regular patrols and a visible guard presence make a site a far less attractive target.
Vandalism to hoardings and vacant units
Sites that stand quiet between phases, or vacant units awaiting redevelopment, can attract graffiti and damage. Scheduled patrols catch this early and discourage repeat incidents.
Unsafe conditions going unreported
A site with no one present overnight or at weekends can develop hazards that go unnoticed until Monday. Our guards check for and report these as part of every patrol.
