MARPOL SECURITY
Keyholding in Manchester
Entrusting employees with building keys and expecting them to attend alarm activations or emergencies outside working hours can expose them to unnecessary risk. Marpol Security provides professional Keyholding services across Manchester, giving businesses access to trained security officers whenever authorised access to their premises is required.
Professional Keyholding Across Manchester
A professional Keyholding service ensures your premises can be accessed safely and securely without relying on employees to attend out of hours.
Our officers respond to alarm activations, emergency callouts and authorised access requests, managing entry to your premises and working alongside the emergency services where required.
Once the situation has been resolved, they secure the building before leaving and provide a detailed report outlining the actions taken.

How Our Keyholding Service Works
Secure Key Management
Your keys are securely stored and managed under strict procedures, ensuring they are only accessed by authorised personnel when required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use a professional Keyholding service?
Answer: Professional Keyholding removes the responsibility from your employees, ensuring that trained security officers attend to alarm activations, emergencies, and authorised access requests safely and professionally.

Answer: Our Control Room receives the activation and dispatches a response officer to your premises. They investigate the cause, secure the building, provide access where necessary and submit a detailed incident report.

Answer: Yes. Our officers liaise with the police, fire service, and other emergency responders where required, providing authorised access and supporting incident management.
