County Durham // North East England
Security guard services in Durham
Durham is England's most dramatic small city: the cathedral and castle rising over the Wear, a collegiate university woven through the medieval centre, and a business community growing along Aykley Heads. Xtreme Protection delivers SIA-licensed security guard services across Durham and the county that shares its name.
Our Durham officers are locally based, SIA licensed and BS 7858 vetted — with verified patrols, photographic reporting and a named contract manager for every client.
Security services in Durham
All 17 specialist services are deployed locally in Durham. Open any service for Durham-specific coverage, deployment and pricing guidance.
The university sets the rhythm: college events and balls through term time, student accommodation security, and a nightlife circuit mixing students with visitors in tight medieval streets. Heritage tourism around the cathedral and castle needs visitor-aware, presentation-first security.
The county's former coalfield towns and industrial estates need dependable patrol, keyholding and vacant property cover; Aykley Heads and the city fringe business parks need corporate front of house; and the county's regeneration sites keep construction security teams deployed.
