The quiet hours still need attention
A weekend booking is about more than Friday night. Consider Saturday contractor access, a Sunday delivery and the time your own staff return on Monday.
We can organise canine security across the periods you need covered. The handler checks the premises and designated access points; photographic updates and incident records help you follow the assignment while you are away. If arrivals need a fixed post, we can add a security officer.
A weekend away from work should not mean losing contact with your site
Fast K9 Security Limited provides a visible canine presence during the hours your premises is unattended. Our handlers check designated entrances, buildings and boundaries, carry out hourly patrols and submit photographs to support their updates.
The assignment can cover Friday evening through to Monday morning, selected overnight periods or a longer holiday closure. We also provide daytime shifts when the premises needs cover while staff or contractors are present. You choose the period required; we organise the personnel, duties and communication.
A guard can remain at a gate while a dog handler moves around the wider property. This is particularly useful when a quiet weekend still includes maintenance visits, deliveries or equipment collections. Your authorised activity can continue while the patrol remains focused on the areas needing protection.
Make the closure plan work from start to finish
We help establish the closing handover, expected visitors and the point at which your own team returns. That allows the booked security hours to follow the actual closure rather than just your normal office timetable.
During the assignment, operations stays in contact with the handler and reviews submitted updates. If arrangements change, you have a management route for updating the booking instead of having to coordinate each shift yourself.
For customers who close regularly, recurring cover can be arranged around the same weekly pattern. Bank holidays, longer weekends and altered opening times can be incorporated into the schedule. Smartoo supports dated shifts and repeat patterns, helping the coordinating team keep the coming period organised.
Sniffer dog hire for a visit or a continuing programme
Our drug detection service gives workplaces and event organisers access to trained specialist handlers and detection dogs. It is available independently of weekend guarding.
A search assignment identifies the areas involved, the operating period and the client representative receiving findings. The handler directs the dog and communicates relevant indications through that contact. You can organise one visit to meet a specific requirement or discuss a recurring programme.
For a venue, we coordinate the detection role with the people managing entry and the event schedule. Your existing security team continues its work, while the specialist handler concentrates on the search. Equipment guarding before opening or after closing can be included as a separate service.
Reports you can return to when the office reopens
An incident report should remain useful after the notification arrives. When our officer submits an incident, the client receives it by email and can revisit the history through the portal.
That gives the returning manager a record to review at the start of the week. Shared documents are also available through the portal, keeping relevant information accessible without searching through the handler's personal messages.
Hourly photographs support the guarding updates, while a reported incident receives its own account. These provide different kinds of information: regular patrol visibility and a specific record when something requires attention.
Upminster security coverage: RM14
Our service covers Upminster and the wider RM14 district, including Cranham and North Ockendon. We can also coordinate nearby premises as part of a wider booking. Give us the full address when arranging cover so the patrol team receives the correct entrance and location.
Call 0203 668 3654 to arrange your next weekend, holiday period or detection visit.
Include the hours on either side of the weekend
The closure may begin after the last employee leaves rather than at the published closing time. It may also end before normal opening if a maintenance contractor or early delivery is expected.
When choosing the booked period, include those transitions in the conversation. The aim is to identify when your own personnel hand responsibility over and when they resume it.
A repeating weekend schedule can still allow exceptions. An extra working Saturday or a Monday bank holiday may change the requirement for that particular week. Tell operations about the change so the next assignment reflects the actual plan and the written booking remains clear to everyone involved.
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.

Plan your site coverClear 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.

Before you arrange cover
Can you cover only Saturday night?
Yes. Individual shifts are available alongside complete weekends and ongoing contracts.
Can contractors attend during guarding hours?
Yes. We organise the access instructions and can provide a separate entrance officer if that position needs continuous staffing.
Is drug detection included in the guarding hourly rate?
Detection is quoted separately because it is a different specialist assignment.
How do I extend a holiday booking?
Contact our team with the additional dates. We arrange the revised cover and provide the updated quotation.
