Questions? We’ve got answers.

Yes. Clear Watch is an SIA Approved Contractor for Security Guarding and Keyholding, and you can verify our status on the public SIA Register of Approved Contractors. See our Accreditations page for the full list.

We provide manned security — guarding, concierge, mobile patrols and keyholding — for clients across the UK from our Oldham base, and agree exact coverage and response for each site. Our rapid-deploy CCTV Towers dispatch focuses on Greater Manchester and the surrounding area, with equipment further afield arranged per project.

We agree response arrangements with you for each site, so you and your team know what to expect, and officers attend as quickly as those arrangements allow. Our security supports — but does not replace — the police and emergency services, who should always be called for anything requiring them.

Get in touch through our contact page or call 0161 628 9169. We'll talk through your site and requirements and put together cover that fits.
