Why Choose Alpha Security Services?
Innovative Security Solutions at Your Fingertips
Third-party guard management software shows who’s on, where they are and what’s been checked across our security guarding services in Tewkesbury. Want the yard checked twice tonight instead of once? Add it from your phone.
Officers carry a radio, a reporting handset and a body camera on every shift. Each checkpoint gets scanned with the time and GPS attached, so security patrolling in Tewkesbury leaves a record you can open whenever you like. Northway at midnight, Ashchurch at 3am. Skipped checkpoints flag straight away.
A Commitment to Excellence in Every Detail
A packed festival weekend and a silent trading estate at 5am are completely different jobs. Our security officers in Tewkesbury are trained for both, plus the awkward bits: the reveller who won’t leave, the shoplifter who bolts, the driver without a booking.
Nobody works a first shift without Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and fire safety training completed. Our professional security services in Tewkesbury treat that as non-negotiable.
Deep Industry Expertise You Can Trust
Since 2021 we’ve watched the same problems come up across every type of site. Industrial security in Tewkesbury tends to fail at a busy gate when a van’s waved in. Shops get hit by the same handful of regulars. Pubs? Closing time, every time.
As a manned guarding company in Tewkesbury, we’ve got a written procedure for each, and your officers walk through yours with us before starting.
Dependable Security, Anytime, Anywhere
Each officer checks in by GPS when their shift begins. No check-in at your site, and the control room’s already arranging cover.
Alarm going off at 2am? With our alarm response in Tewkesbury, an officer will be there within 45 minutes of activation. Add key holding services in Tewkesbury and nobody on your team has to drive in. Our vans use the M5, the A38, the A46 and the A438.
What Our Tewkesbury Clients Say
“We’ve tried several security firms over the years, but Alpha Security’s pubs and clubs guards at our High Street Quarter venue are genuinely different. From the first shift, their team took ownership of the door, communicated professionally with management, and flagged concerns before they escalated. Their incident log is detailed and always submitted on time. We’ve seen a clear reduction in confrontations and a real improvement in how the venue feels on busy nights. Highly trusted.”
“Managing a construction project in Bredon Road Industrial is complex enough without the added pressure of site security failures. Alpha Security took responsibility for our perimeter from day one, running structured patrols, monitoring CCTV feeds, and communicating proactively with our site manager. Their guards flagged a fence breach on the second week that could have resulted in significant material loss. Quick, professional, thorough.”
“Alpha Security’s retail security team at our Shannon Way store has completely changed how we approach loss prevention. Their guards don’t just stand near the entrance they move intelligently, monitor high-risk areas, and communicate with the management team through the shift. Our stocktake results have improved for three consecutive periods since they joined us.”

Frequently Asked Questions
We're already in Tewkesbury Safe. Do we still need security guards in Tewkesbury?
Maybe not every day. Tewkesbury Safe is good value at about a pound a day. You get the radio, the offender gallery and the yellow and red card exclusions. But a radio only tells you someone’s heading your way. It doesn’t stop them walking out with a bag full of stock.
Security guards in Tewkesbury fill that gap at the busy times. A guard on the door for market days, Saturdays and the run-up to Christmas, using the same offender pictures, works well alongside the scheme. Every incident our officers log is written so it can back up a yellow card, a red card or a criminal behaviour order application.
How bad is crime in Tewkesbury, really?
Worse than people expect. CrimeRadar shows 1,745 crimes in Tewkesbury in the twelve months to July 2025. In the latest data, violence and anti-social behaviour make up more than half of it, with criminal damage, shoplifting and vehicle crime after that.
That’s why the borough council spent £20,000 of Shared Prosperity money on community safety in summer 2025, including council and police patrols through the shopping streets. Our security services in Tewkesbury work alongside that. Officers on the door at the busy times, patrols round units overnight, and proper incident records that give the neighbourhood team something solid to work with.
Can you handle event security in Tewkesbury for the Medieval Festival?
We can. The Medieval Festival runs on 11 and 12 July 2026 on the battlefield site off Gloucester Road. It’s free, it bills itself as the biggest free medieval fayre and re-enactment in Europe, and there’s a beer tent and a Sunday parade through town. Crowds like that need proper planning.
Event security in Tewkesbury for that weekend might mean gates and stewarding on the field, door staff for the town centre pubs and patrols round car parks. For smaller events, a wedding at Tewkesbury Park or a show at the Roses, it’s usually front of house and a couple of officers.
Do you provide construction security in Tewkesbury for the Ashchurch housing sites?
Yes. The North Ashchurch Consortium, which is Mansfield Partners, Bellway, Bromford and Homes England, has applied for up to 2,800 homes between Northway, Ashchurch and Aston on Carrant. Robert Hitchins has also had 140 homes approved off Fiddington Lane, with access from the A46.
Big greenfield sites on the edge of town are hard to fence and easy to get into. Construction security in Tewkesbury usually means a gate officer during working hours, then patrols or a static guard after dark. Plant, fuel, copper and kitchens are the usual targets, and early phases get hit hardest.
What does manned guarding in Tewkesbury look like on Northway or Tewkesbury Business Park?
Mostly the gate by day and the fence by night. Northway Trading Estate, Ashchurch Business Centre and Tewkesbury Business Park are full of manufacturers, distributors and trade counters, all two minutes from M5 junction 9.
Manned guarding in Tewkesbury on those estates means vehicle logs, delivery notes checked against loads, contractor sign-ins and a final walk round when the last shift leaves. Commercial security in Tewkesbury also covers empty units nearby, where thieves like to wait. Security for commercial properties in Tewkesbury starts with a site walk, and our risk mitigation services in Tewkesbury come from what we find.
When the rivers flood, who checks our closed premises?
We do. Tewkesbury sits where the Severn and the Avon meet, and when they rise, roads close and businesses shut early. Empty buildings during a flood attract opportunist thieves, and nobody’s around to notice a broken window or a tripped alarm.
Vacant property security in Tewkesbury during flood warnings means patrols when the roads allow, checks on doors, shutters and alarms, and photos sent to you. Private property security in Tewkesbury and property security in Tewkesbury for landlords work the same way. With keys held by us, we can get inside to check for water damage too.
Who comes out when our alarm goes off overnight?
An Alpha officer, as long as we’re holding your keys. Otherwise it’s you, or a manager driving over from Cheltenham at 3am to stand in a dark car park alone. Not ideal.
With key holding services in Tewkesbury, your alarm company calls our control room, and an officer gets there within 45 minutes of activation. Inside and out gets checked, the system’s reset if it’s safe, and photos plus a report land in your inbox. Real break-in? They ring Gloucestershire Constabulary, protect the scene and stay until it’s secure.
Do you look after housing estates and shared blocks?
Yes. New estates at Wheatpieces, Walton Cardiff and Northway, plus flats in town, often want someone patrolling car parks, bin stores and shared entrances. Community security services in Tewkesbury can be shared across a block or an estate, which keeps costs low.
Security for residential properties in Tewkesbury is usually a nightly patrol at random times, keyholding and alarm response. Our officers note vehicles that don’t belong, check communal doors and report anything broken. Private security guards in Tewkesbury aren’t police, but they’re a visible presence that puts most trouble off.
Festival's next week. Can we still hire security guards in Tewkesbury?
Normally the same day if you call before lunch. Emergency cover, after a break-in or a no-show from another firm, gets to you within 2 to 4 hours. Booked shifts usually start a day or two after details are agreed.
Hire security guards in Tewkesbury for one night, festival weekend, a season or long term. No tie-in. Ring 023 8111 2814 or send the form, and you’ll hear back by email within 4 working hours.
What do Tewkesbury security guard services cost?
Guards by the hour, patrols by the visit. A guard on your door from 10 till 6 counts as eight hours. Three patrol visits to a locked unit overnight is three visits, which is far cheaper.
Tewkesbury security guard services also move with the year. Shops want more before Christmas. Pubs want extra door staff for the Medieval Festival. Building sites want both. We’ll quote after a site walk, and you only pay for the hours you use.
