Training, licensing and insurance

Fast K9 Security Limited holds ISO 9001 certification, SafeContractor approval and Constructionline Gold membership. Public liability insurance is in place. Relevant security personnel hold valid SIA licences, our general-purpose security dog handlers hold NASDU Level 2 handler training, and drug detection assignments use trained specialist handlers.

These credentials sit alongside the practical service you receive: personnel carrying out defined duties, operations coordinating the assignment and reports that keep you informed. Our team can discuss the relevant supporting information with your procurement or facilities representative.

Security that follows the work

During refurbishment, yesterday's locked entrance may become today's contractor access. Materials move, temporary partitions appear and different trades finish at different times.

Our dog-handler cover can be organised around those changes. The patrol checks the areas you need protected, while access-control duties can be assigned to a security officer when arrivals need separate attention. This keeps the difference between watching an entrance and checking the wider premises clear.

Keep protection in place while the premises changes

Refurbishment can leave valuable tools, deliveries and unfinished work behind when contractors go home. Fast K9 provides a dog and handler to patrol the designated areas, check entrances and look for signs of interference throughout the booked shift.

Hourly patrol photographs help operations follow the assignment. Relevant concerns receive an incident report, and our coordinating team keeps in touch with the handler through operational communications. You have personnel on the premises and a reporting route behind them.

The service can cover a single building, a project with external storage or a property moving between occupied and vacant use. Where visitors or deliveries require a staffed entrance, we can add a security officer so access work continues while the handler patrols.

A practical way to manage changing access

Our team helps organise which areas are in use, who may arrive and what has changed before the security shift begins. If a contractor moves an entrance or leaves equipment in a different position, that information should reach the handler covering the next period.

Smartoo supports current assignment documents with version records. The benefit for you is straightforward: the instructions can stay with the job as the work develops. You do not need to manage separate explanations for every person joining the cover.

For longer projects, we can discuss changes to the hours and service as phases finish. Temporary cover can continue into the next stage, or the arrangement can be reduced when your requirement changes, with the revised booking and price explained.

Specialist drug detection in Hornchurch

Our trained detection handlers provide sniffer dog hire for workplaces, venues and events. You can book a focused visit or a series of assignments without changing your entire guarding provision.

The handler directs the dog through the arranged search task and communicates relevant findings to your nominated contact. Search timing is coordinated with the premises so the visit has a clear place in the working day. A dog's indication is communicated for appropriate follow-up rather than presented as a conclusion about a particular person.

For events, specialist detection can sit alongside your own entry staff and security contractor. If equipment needs protecting before or after the event, our general-purpose security dog teams can provide separate patrol cover. We explain the distinction so you buy the right team for each part of the job.

Your incident information stays accessible

When an officer submits an incident report, it is automatically emailed to the client. Your portal holds incident history and shared documents, making the record available after the shift.

This is useful when a project manager needs to pass information to the property owner or another contractor. You can refer to the recorded observation and reported action rather than relying on a verbal account passed through several people. Operations coordinates follow-up communication with the relevant contacts.

Hornchurch postcodes and nearby cover

We serve Hornchurch across RM11 and RM12. Our wider coverage also includes neighbouring service areas, so a project that spans more than one address can be discussed in one enquiry. Our team can arrange cover for the premises address you provide.

Speak to Fast K9 on 0203 668 3654 for the shifts, search visits or continuing cover you need.

Plan the cover around what remains exposed

A refurbishment booking can change as internal work becomes external work, or as deliveries replace equipment already installed. When discussing the next phase, consider where materials will remain overnight, which openings will be in use and when the workforce returns.

These are practical buying questions rather than paperwork you must complete alone. Our team helps translate them into patrol and access duties.

For example, a staffed entrance during contractor hours may be useful alongside a wider patrol after closing. Buying those roles for the appropriate periods gives the quotation a clear purpose. It also lets you review the next phase without assuming the original arrangement must continue unchanged.

Clear prices before you book

Selected planned, recurring security dog-handler assignments start from £16.50 + VAT per hour. This starting rate does not apply automatically to every booking. Your quotation identifies the service, hours, applicable rate and any additional charges.

Single shifts, temporary projects, urgent requirements, nights, weekends and bank holidays can all be quoted. Drug detection dog hire is priced separately for the search assignment. If you want guarding and detection together, we explain both elements in the proposal.

Start with a short enquiry

Call 0203 668 3654 or request a free quote. Tell us your location, the service you want and your preferred dates. You do not need to prepare a finished site plan, risk assessment or security specification before making contact.

We help organise the working details, explain the cover and provide a written quotation. Whether you are booking for your own business, a managed property or another security company, you have a direct route to the team arranging the service.

Helpful booking answers

Can you cover a building that is partly occupied?

Yes. We organise patrol and access duties around the areas being used and the parts requiring protection.

What if the contractor finishes later than planned?

Contact operations to arrange the revised hours. We confirm the updated service so the customer and handler work from the same booking.

Can our existing security company use your dog handlers?

Yes. We supply specialist support alongside other providers.

Do I need all project details ready before calling?

No. The location, required service and intended start date are enough to begin the discussion.
