Security Business Benefits
Bespoke Tailored Solutions
Every Oldham construction project carries its own security requirements, shaped by site size, build stage, and location. A former-mill conversion needs different cover from a town-centre regeneration plot or a residential scheme across the Pennine foothills. Our construction security specialists build a customised plan around your site layout, your access requirements, and the security challenges specific to your plot, keeping the site operational and secure from groundwork to handover.
Highly Trained Experts
All our construction security guards complete rigorous training tailored to the construction industry, and every officer holds a valid SIA (Security Industry Authority) licence. A number of our Oldham officers are ex-armed forces, bringing discipline, risk awareness, and a calm head under pressure to every overnight shift on site. Before any deployment in Oldham, each guard works through a construction-specific course covering site safety protocols, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements, and emergency procedures. That training matters on a live site, where a guard who understands exclusion zones and plant movement protects your operation instead of getting in the way.
98% Customer Retention Rate
Construction companies stay with Alpha Security Services because the cover is consistent, night after night. Our 98% retention rate reflects dependable site protection across Oldham and Greater Manchester, from static guarding to mobile patrols and CCTV. Clients renew because the losses stop and the reporting is clear, which is the whole point.
Rapid Response
A 24/7 security operations centre, GPS-tracked personnel, and rapid-deployment CCTV towers let us respond to incidents at Oldham construction sites immediately. Our average response to an activated alarm is 45 minutes across Oldham and Greater Manchester, with a vetted officer or mobile patrol attending while the operations centre escalates to the police where needed. For new sites, we deploy emergency cover within 24 to 48 hours, so a sudden gap in your security never leaves the site exposed for long.
Competitive Rates
Construction security in Oldham is priced to the value it protects, not padded with cover you don’t need. We scope deployment to the real risk on your site, keeping the rate competitive while the protection stays complete. You pay for guarding, patrols, and monitoring that match your exposure, and nothing that does not.

Why Choose Alpha Security Services?
Innovative Security Solutions at Your Fingertips
Alpha Security Services uses advanced technology to strengthen construction site security across Oldham. With our third-party security guard software, construction companies can view security schedules in real time, track guards’ live locations on site, see who is on duty, and assign tasks instantly. Behind that sits a 24/7 Security Operations Centre, GPS-monitored personnel, and Rapid Deployment CCTV Towers, all ready to answer site security requirements as they happen.
Our CCTV towers run on solar power and operate autonomously, with a direct link to the operations centre and AI-enhanced threat detection that flags genuine intrusions while filtering out false activations. Perimeter detection covers the full boundary of your site and alerts you the moment the line is crossed. Visually verified intruder alarms confirm a real threat before anyone responds, so the team acts on intrusions, not a fox.
A Commitment to Excellence in Every Detail
Our team deploys Rapid Deployable CCTV Towers, alarm systems, body-worn cameras, and two-way radios to hold the highest standard of site protection in Oldham. GPS technology confirms our guards complete every patrol, and body-worn footage provides usable evidence if an incident leads to a claim or court case. Our officers present a professional uniformed presence, communicate clearly with workers, contractors, and site management, and hold Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) certification.
We tailor each deployment to your site, whether that means a major Oldham development, static guarding at a single access point, gatehouse security controlling deliveries, mobile patrols for a residential build, or CCTV monitoring for a commercial plot. For sites without a full-time presence, key holding and alarm response give you out-of-hours cover at a lower cost. We also install Heras fencing and provide vacant property and void cover for idle plots.
Deep Industry Expertise You Can Trust
Alpha Security Services brings years of construction security experience to Oldham sites of every type. We have protected small residential builds, commercial developments, and conversion and infrastructure projects across Greater Manchester and the North West, so we recognise the risks Oldham sites face before they turn into losses.
That depth lets us write a security plan that fits your project’s real operational demands, not a template lifted from somewhere else. From the first groundwork shift to final handover, our construction security adapts as the build changes, the exposure shifts, and new access points open across the site.
Dependable Security, Anytime, Anywhere
Alpha Security Services delivers round-the-clock construction site protection in Oldham, including nights and weekends when your site sits idle. Construction companies trust us for full site coverage, rapid alarm response, and SIA-licensed guards on the ground who know the site and its access points.
GPS tracking keeps every guard’s location visible in real time, so cover is always where your site needs it. Whether the job is answering an alarm at 3 am or running perimeter patrols through the small hours, the protection holds, consistent and documented, to the same standard on every shift.
Testimonials & Social Proof
“Our conversion project in Oldham had several entrances and parts of the building that were difficult to monitor from one position. Alpha planned the guarding around the way the site was actually laid out and gave us much better control once the workforce left.”
“As more trades came onto the project, keeping track of contractors and deliveries became increasingly important. Alpha managed the access process professionally while allowing our site team to keep the programme moving.”
“We were particularly concerned about tools, plant and materials being left across different parts of the site overnight. Alpha introduced regular patrols and clear reporting, so our morning team knew immediately if anything required attention.”

Should You Hire Security Guards for Construction Sites in Oldham?
Construction sites in Oldham hold valuable materials, heavy machinery, and sensitive equipment, which makes them direct targets for theft and vandalism. Work pauses overnight and across weekends, and an uncovered site is the easiest target on the street. Manned guarding, access control, mobile patrols, and CCTV monitoring protect your assets, reduce downtime, and keep a safe working environment for contractors and staff. We deploy security personnel matched to your construction needs, ensuring a safe site and the safety and security of everyone on it. There’s also an insurance angle: documented patrols and incident logs show the reasonable security measures an insurer expects to see before paying out on a theft or damage claim. On a site where a single stolen excavator can stall the programme for weeks, dedicated security pays for itself the first time it stops a break-in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide construction security across all of Oldham and Greater Manchester?
Yes. Alpha Security Services covers all of Oldham, from the town centre to Chadderton, Failsworth, Shaw, Saddleworth, and across Greater Manchester to Rochdale. We also protect sites around the M60 ring. Wherever your construction project sits in the region, we deploy SIA-licensed guards, mobile patrols, and CCTV towers to match its exposure.
Do you provide dog handler or Banksman-trained security?
Yes. For higher-risk Oldham sites, our canine (dog handler) units add a strong visible deterrent that few intruders test. For sites with heavy HGV movement or large loads such as timber frames and roofing, our Banksman-trained officers direct site traffic safely while maintaining security cover. Both come as part of a tailored deployment rather than a fixed package, so you only take what your site needs.
How do I get started with construction security in Oldham?
Contact Alpha Security Services for a site assessment. We review your Oldham site’s layout, access points, build stage, and specific risks, then propose a deployment plan and quote built around it. For urgent needs, we arrange emergency cover within 24 to 48 hours while we finalise the full plan.
Are your construction security guards SIA licensed?
Every guard we deploy in Oldham holds a valid SIA (Security Industry Authority) licence. Before deployment, we vet each officer through criminal record checks and identity confirmation; then they complete construction-specific training covering site safety, PPE requirements, and emergency procedures. You get a licensed, screened, construction-trained officer, not a generic security presence.
What does construction site security in Oldham cost?
Pricing depends on your site size, location, build stage, and the level of cover the exposure requires. A small residential plot needs less than a complex mill-conversion site with multiple access points. We scope the deployment to the real risk and quote accordingly, keeping the rate competitive without leaving gaps. Contact us for a site-specific quote.
Can you secure former-mill conversion construction sites?
Yes. Conversion construction security is a core service across Oldham, covering the complex layouts and multiple access points these sites have. We assess the boundary in the initial survey and cover it with the right mix of guards, CCTV towers, and patrols.
How quickly can you deploy security to an Oldham construction site?
We deploy emergency cover to construction sites across Oldham within 24-48 hours. For planned deployments, we arrange cover around your programme start date so the site is protected from its first vulnerable night. Our 24/7 Security Operations Centre and rapid-deployment CCTV towers make fast turnaround possible even at short notice.
Do you provide CCTV monitoring as well as guards?
Yes. We deploy Rapid Deployable CCTV Towers with live monitoring from our 24/7 Security Operations Centre, alongside or instead of manned guarding, depending on what your Oldham site needs. CCTV towers suit sites where continuous static guarding is not cost-justified, but constant surveillance still matters. We recommend the mix that fits your exposure and budget.
Will your security help with insurance and HSE compliance?
Yes. Our guards log every patrol and document any incident, which gives you the evidence an insurer expects when assessing a theft or damage claim. Operations follow HSE health and safety requirements, and officers work within your site’s safety protocols and PPE rules. Clear reporting also helps your project team track patterns and demonstrate that reasonable security measures were in place.
What happens if there is an incident on my site overnight?
Our 24/7 Security Operations Centre responds to any incident immediately, dispatching on-site guards or mobile patrols and escalating to the police where needed. GPS tracking confirms the response, body-worn cameras record it, and you receive a detailed activity log. You wake up to a full account of what happened and what was done, not a surprise on the morning walk-round.
How do you stop plant and materials theft on Oldham sites?
We combine SIA-licensed guards, GPS-tracked patrols, access control, and rapid-deployment CCTV towers to cut the risk of plant and materials theft. Guards log every patrol, body-worn cameras capture usable evidence, and the 24/7 operations centre responds to alarms immediately. On the Oldham sites we cover, plant losses have dropped to near zero.
