Security Services
Cole Security provides 24/7 manned guarding solutions including static guards and mobile patrols. Our SIA-licensed officers protect people and assets across Greater Manchester and the North West. Services integrate with CCTV and electronic systems for enhanced security, with regular supervisory visits ensuring consistent quality standards.
Cleaning & Caretaking
We deliver high-quality contract cleaning services for educational, healthcare, and commercial premises. Our DBS-checked operatives receive specialist training for environments requiring access to vulnerable groups. Regular spot-checks and client feedback mechanisms ensure consistently high service standards across all facilities.
Asset Protection
Our vacant property services safeguard investments through inspections, deep cleaning, and maintenance. Features include temporary alarm installation, garden upkeep, and compliance support for insurance requirements. Initial inspections are provided free of charge to ensure client satisfaction.
Integrated Services
Cole Security offers cost-effective bundled services combining security, cleaning, and facilities management. This approach delivers 10-20% typical savings, single-invoicing convenience, and enhanced operational efficiency through centralised communication and logistics coordination.
Mobile Patrols
Visible mobile patrol services deter theft and unauthorised access across multiple sites. Our marked vehicles and licensed officers provide 24/7 reporting, making this solution ideal for large premises or portfolios where static guarding would be impractical or cost-prohibitive.
