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.

Make the search purpose clear from the start

A workplace detection visit needs defined search areas, a nominated manager and a time that fits the operation. The handler directs the dog and communicates relevant indications through that manager.

A dog's indication requires appropriate follow-up. It is not, by itself, a finding that a particular person has committed an offence. Keeping that distinction clear supports a professional response to the search.

A professional search depends on the handler as well as the dog. Our detection teams use dogs trained to recognise target odours, with the handler directing the search and communicating relevant indications to your nominated representative.

Fast K9 can arrange an individual workplace visit, recurring searches or specialist support for a venue. We organise the search areas and operating period with the person responsible for the premises. This gives the visit a clear purpose while your own management team continues running the business.

You do not need to become a detection specialist before making an enquiry. Tell us where the service is needed and whether you are arranging a workplace search or event support. We will explain the team, booking and reporting process.

Workplace visits that fit your organisation

A workplace assignment may involve several departments, entrances or working periods. We coordinate the visit with the appropriate representative so the handler has an understood search task and reporting route.

For recurring work, visits can be organised as a programme rather than separate last-minute bookings. The quotation identifies the service and arrangement, and changes to the workplace schedule can be discussed through our team.

Relevant findings are communicated to the nominated contact. A dog's indication is a reason for appropriate follow-up, not a conclusion that an individual has committed an offence. Clear communication helps your responsible personnel decide the next action from an accurate account.

Detection support for venues and events

Our specialist teams can work alongside your organiser, venue manager and existing security contractor. Entry personnel continue admission duties while the handler concentrates on the detection assignment.

If equipment remains before or after public opening, general-purpose security dog handlers can provide separate guarding. That gives you specialist searches during the required period and patrol cover for the unattended hours, with both roles clear in the booking.

You can arrange only the detection visit or combine it with supporting officers and other security services. We explain the price of each element so the proposal is easy to assess.

Canine security when your property needs a physical presence

Fast K9 also supplies K9 guarding for construction work, warehouses, commercial premises, yards and vacant properties. Our handlers carry out hourly patrols of designated areas, check entrances and boundaries and submit photographic updates.

Operations maintains communication with personnel during their shifts. If your entrance needs to remain staffed, a security officer can cover that position while the handler patrols elsewhere.

Daytime, overnight, weekend and temporary cover are available alongside regular contracts. This lets you organise the service around your premises rather than buy hours that do not match its operation.

Incident emails and a client record you can revisit

When an officer submits an incident report, it is emailed to the client. Your portal provides incident history and shared documents for later reference.

For a manager overseeing a workplace programme, that means a reported event has a place in the record rather than remaining in a message on one person's phone. Smartoo supports dated assignments and incident information, helping operations distinguish one visit from another.

We coordinate the reporting contact before the service begins. A search report and subsequent workplace decisions have different purposes; the information gives your nominated representative a clear basis for handling the matter.

Ilford postcode coverage

We cover central Ilford in IG1 and the IG2 area. Our wider Ilford postal coverage includes IG3, IG4, IG5 and IG6, serving surrounding districts such as Seven Kings, Goodmayes, Redbridge, Clayhall and Barkingside. These are postal coverage areas, not a claim that every address is in the town centre.

What makes a workplace search easier to coordinate?

A useful starting point is the purpose of the visit and the person authorised to manage it. That representative can coordinate access, explain the operating schedule and receive the handler's findings.

The scope should identify the areas included. Where a building has several occupiers or departments, this helps everyone understand the actual assignment rather than assume every space forms part of the search.

After the visit, relevant findings should reach the person responsible for follow-up. Keeping that route clear is valuable whether you book once or repeatedly. We help organise these details with you after the initial enquiry; they are not a prerequisite for making the first call.

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.

Before booking

Can I arrange a single search first?

Yes. Individual visits and recurring programmes are both available.

Can you work alongside our current guards?

Yes. We provide the specialist handler while existing personnel continue their duties.

Are guarding and detection the same service?

No. Guarding provides patrol cover; detection is a specialist search assignment. We can organise either or both.

Can our facilities provider handle the enquiry?

Yes. We work with authorised managing organisations and other security companies.
