Security Services in Flint

Quite a lot. We provide security services in Flint, across North Wales and right round the UK, with 21 specialist security services to choose from.

Most weeks it’s guards and door staff, if I’m honest. Key holding too, plus answering alarms and popping in on empty buildings. We also do a fair bit on building sites and in factories, warehouses and depots, usually on the gatehouse. Then there’s shops, hotels and pubs. Pharmacies and schools, now and again. And events, which can be anything from a works party to a full festival weekend. Got something a bit odd? Give us a ring. Chances are we’ve done it.

Yep. The Flint Festival comes round every July. Last year’s finished up at the castle with the Rock the Castle Weekender, 12 and 13 July, two days of bands. Outside festival week you’ve got Flint Town United at home, the odd charity fun day, weddings most Saturdays in summer. There’s nearly always something going on.

If you’re the organiser, event security in Flint starts at the gate. Wristbands, bag checks, keeping count of who’s in. Then there’s the part people forget, which is how everyone gets out if it goes wrong. Planning a gig at the castle? Cadw look after it, so you’ll have their conditions on top of the council’s. We’re used to working to both. And if you just run a bar round the corner, security for events in Flint might be one extra door supervisor on the Saturday night. That’s often all it takes.

Earlier than most people think, that’s the honest answer. Say it’s a small do, under 500 people, and you’re selling drink. You’ll need a Temporary Event Notice with Flintshire County Council and North Wales Police at least 10 working days before. And those are clear days, so the day it arrives doesn’t count, and neither does the event day. You can send a late one with five working days to go. Risky, though. If the police object to a late notice, your event’s off. Anything bigger needs a full premises licence and a proper event plan, and that’s months of work, not weeks.

So bring us in at the start. Writing the security plan alongside the event plan saves a lot of last-minute scrambling, and the council and police will want to see who’s on the gates anyway.

Some things, not all. Flintshire’s alcohol Public Spaces Protection Order covers any public place in the county, and from October 2023 police and authorised council officers can tell people to stop drinking and hand it over, with a £75 fixed penalty if they don’t. The order was due to run three years, and in July 2026 the council was consulting on renewing it. Police can also put on a dispersal order, as they did on Church Street in 2024.

Our officers can’t use either power, so no fines and no orders to leave the area. What our private security guards in Flint do is keep your doorway clear, turn people away at the door and write up exactly what happened, with times and descriptions. When the same group keeps coming back, those notes give police and the council something to work with.

Gate in the day, fence at night. Aber Park and Ashmount Enterprise Park are full of small industrial and warehouse units, off Aber Road between the A548 and Church Street. Further east, Deeside has some of the biggest manufacturing sites in North Wales.

Manned guarding in Flint on those estates is mostly vehicle logs, delivery notes checked against what’s on the wagon, and a final lock-up check that someone actually signs for. Commercial security in Flint also means watching the unit next door, because an empty unit two doors down is often where thieves start. Security for commercial properties in Flint always begins with us walking the site, and our risk mitigation services in Flint come out of what we find. If a better lock sorts it, we’ll say so.

We do. Manned security in North Wales is a big chunk of our work, from Deeside Industrial Park and Broughton across to Mold, Holywell and up the coast. Plenty of clients have a shop in Flint and a depot somewhere else in the region, and it’s simpler on one contract. New flats and housing association blocks get the same cover too, as security for residential properties in Flint and the towns around it.

Our security guards in North Wales cover static posts, mobile patrols, key holding and alarm response across Flintshire and beyond. One control room watches all of it, so an alarm at a unit in Deeside gets the same response as one on Flint High Street.

We do quite a bit of that. Empty shops between tenants, closed units on the estates and houses waiting for sale or refurbishment all turn up around Flint.

Vacant property security in Flint means visits at random times and a proper check, inside and out, on every one. Private property security in Flint suits owners who live away, and we’ll hold keys so nobody’s driving over at midnight when an alarm goes off. For housing associations and residents’ groups, community security in Flint covers shared car parks and entrances, and our community security services in Flint can be split between neighbours. Property security in Flint comes down to someone who turns up, checks properly and tells you what they saw.

It depends on what happens there after hours. A locked unit, a closed office or a house while you’re on holiday usually just needs security patrols in Flint, and they cost far less than a guard. Visits come at different times every night, check doors, windows and fences, and get logged with GPS and photos.

If there’s stock, staff, cash or customers about, you want a person there. Lots of clients do both: a guard by day, patrols overnight.

Usually the same day. Ring us in the morning and there’s a good chance we’ll have an officer with you by the afternoon. After a break-in, or when another company’s guard hasn’t arrived, emergency cover reaches you within 2 to 4 hours. Planned cover normally starts a day or two after we’ve agreed the details.

You can hire security guards in Flint for one night, a season or the long term, with no long tie-in. If an alarm turns out to be a real break-in, our officer calls North Wales Police, protects the scene and stays until the building’s safe. Call 023 8111 2814, or use the form for an email reply within 4 working hours.

Yes, and they need a lighter touch than a factory. Flint has care homes at Croes Atti and the newer build on the old Flint Community Hospital site on Cornist Road, plus surgeries and pharmacies around town.

On sites like these, our officers stay low-key. They manage the front door and visitor book, walk the grounds at night, keep car parks clear and make sure nobody wanders out who shouldn’t. They also know that a resident at the door at 2am is a welfare call, not an intruder. We’ll agree access rules and escalation contacts with the manager in writing before the first shift.
