Security services in Oldham.
Oldham is home. Since 2008, Clear Watch Security has protected businesses across the borough from our base at Broadway Business Park in Chadderton. We look after schools, care homes, mills, car showrooms and offices with SIA-licensed security officers, mobile patrols, and keyholding and alarm response.
Security in Oldham
Security that fits how Oldham works
Oldham is a town of contrasts. Former cotton mills in Chadderton, Royton and Shaw now house warehouses, workshops and offices. Business parks such as Broadway and Hollinwood sit beside the M60, and the town centre around Spindles and Yorkshire Street is busy with shops, offices and car showrooms. Sites like these hold stock, vehicles and equipment, and many stand empty at night and at weekends. That is where a local security company makes the difference.
We work across the borough every day. We look after schools, care homes, mill buildings, car showrooms and offices in Oldham, and every one of our services is used here, from security guarding and mobile patrols to keyholding, alarm response, lock and unlock and vacant property inspections. We know the estates, the roads and the quiet spots that need checking.
Our officers are directly employed, vetted and SIA-licensed. As an SIA Approved Contractor for Security Guarding and Keyholding, we agree the cover around your site and send you a report after every visit.
