Imperial Security provides corporate security in Putney for office buildings, business centres, receptions and commercial premises across the area, from riverside developments near the bridge to office space along the high street and around Putney Bridge Road.
Our SIA-licensed guards cover front-of-house reception, access control, patrols and out-of-hours protection, working alongside facilities and reception teams so staff and visitors move through the building safely. Whether you occupy a single-tenant headquarters or a floor within a shared office scheme, our guards deliver consistent cover matched to how your building actually operates.
Putney's office stock has shifted noticeably in the past two years. Flexible workspace operators such as Parklife on Putney Bridge Road now let desks and suites to a rotating mix of small businesses and enterprise teams inside a single managed building, while a large-scale redevelopment at 175 Putney Bridge Road, the former Dial House, has delivered around 40,000 sq ft of new Grade A office space with its own reception, fitness studio and rooftop garden. Both models raise the same question for whoever runs the building: who is actually on site to manage the front door, log visitors and respond if something goes wrong once multiple tenants or a newly occupied floor are involved.
A newly refurbished or multi-tenant building rarely comes with security built in from day one. Landlords and managing agents are left to arrange reception cover, access control and out-of-hours checks themselves, often while lease-up is still under way and footfall is unpredictable. Our guards are placed to fit that stage of a building's life as well as an established, fully let one.

| What Our Putney Corporate Security Service Provides
From riverside reception desks to shared office floors, these are the duties our guards carry out most often in Putney's commercial buildings.
Access control management
Our guards manage entry and exit points so only authorised staff, contractors and visitors reach the building, which matters most in shared schemes where several businesses use the same front door.
Front-of-house security
A professional guard presence at reception keeps the space secure without feeling unwelcoming, handling visitor sign-in, pass issue and the first point of contact for anyone arriving.
Emergency response and evacuation support
Our guards are trained to react quickly to fire alarms, suspicious activity or medical incidents, directing staff and visitors to safety and liaising with emergency services on arrival.
Patrolling and surveillance
Regular patrols of corridors, stairwells and communal areas help catch anything unusual early, and our guards support existing CCTV systems with live monitoring and incident reporting.
Incident reporting and conflict de-escalation
Our guards keep clear, accurate records of any incidents and are trained to de-escalate confrontations calmly, so a disagreement at reception does not disrupt the working day.
Protecting assets and data
Corporate floors often hold sensitive documents, IT equipment and confidential client data, and our guards keep server rooms, storage and secure zones protected against theft or unauthorised access.
| Who We Provide Corporate Security For In Putney
Putney's mix of headquarters buildings, managed workspace and riverside offices brings together several types of buyer, each with a slightly different security need.
Managed workspace operators
Flexible office schemes with several unrelated tenants under one roof need a guard who understands who belongs on which floor and can manage visitors for multiple businesses at once.
Newly refurbished office buildings
Landlords bringing a redeveloped building back to the market need reception and access control cover in place before tenants move in, and adjusted as occupancy grows.
Single-tenant headquarters
Companies occupying a whole building want a guard who becomes a familiar, trusted part of the front-of-house team rather than a rotating stranger at the desk.
Facilities and managing agents
Agents responsible for a multi-let building need a security partner who reports clearly, covers out-of-hours checks and coordinates with cleaning and maintenance contractors.
We also support retail units and ground-floor units within these same office buildings where corporate and customer-facing security needs overlap.
| The Security Problems We Solve In Putney
New office schemes and flexible workspace have changed who is coming through the door each day, and buildings that once had one settled tenant now often have several. That shift is what generates most of the enquiries we get from Putney office managers.
Unfamiliar visitors in shared buildings
When several businesses share one entrance, reception staff cannot always tell who is meant to be there. Our guards check every visitor against a sign-in process and issue passes so tenants know who is on their floor.
Gaps in cover during lease-up
A newly completed or refurbished building can sit partly occupied for months, with fewer people around to notice a problem. We provide a consistent guard presence that does not depend on how full the building currently is.
Deliveries and contractor access
Office buildings receive a steady flow of couriers, cleaners and maintenance contractors, and unchecked access at these points is an easy way for the wrong person to get inside. Our guards manage this traffic without slowing down legitimate deliveries.
Out-of-hours vulnerability
Offices are quiet outside standard working hours, which is when unauthorised entry or equipment theft is most likely to go unnoticed. We schedule patrols and checks outside the working day so the building is never left unattended for long.
| Why Choose Imperial Security In Putney
Local office knowledge
We know the difference between a single-occupier headquarters and a managed workspace scheme like Parklife on Putney Bridge Road, and we staff each one accordingly rather than applying a single generic guard brief.
Our cover extends across Putney and into the neighbouring SW15 postcode area, including Roehampton and the riverside stretch towards Barnes.
Flexible contracts for growing buildings
Because occupancy in a newly let building can change month to month, our seven day rolling contract lets you scale guard hours up or down as tenants move in, without being tied into a long-term agreement.
