Residential security
Residential security across the UK and Europe
Protection for private residences and the people in them, arranged so family life continues as normal — at your London home or a property elsewhere in the UK or Europe.
Overview
Security that belongs in a home
A private residence is a lived-in environment, not a site to be locked down. Residential security works best when it is quiet, consistent and understood by everyone in the household, including staff and family members.
We assess the property, its approaches and its daily routines, then set out measures that address the real weaknesses — often access, visitors and deliveries — before considering any increase in physical presence.
Coverage
Primary residences and second homes
Blackmere Group is based in London and works through a network of experienced operatives covering London, the South Coast of England, the North of England, the wider United Kingdom and selected European locations. We do not maintain permanent offices outside London.
That allows a consistent standard across a main residence and a second home, with cover arranged for the periods each property is occupied or empty.
What it includes

Discreet officers at the residence, continuously or during agreed periods.
Family movement
Support for school runs, appointments and regular journeys where that is required.

Frequently asked
Residential security questions
Presence is matched to the property and the street. In most residential settings we work in plain clothing and keep the arrangement unremarkable to anyone passing, though a visible presence can be arranged where deterrence is wanted.
