What we provide

Three critical fire safety services

Fire watch, fire warden, and waking watch each serve a different legal and operational purpose. Understanding which you need and getting it deployed immediately is what we do.

Fire Watch

Continuous monitoring of your premises when the fire detection or suppression system is impaired, offline, or under maintenance. A trained operative patrols your building at regular intervals to detect and respond to fire before it spreads.

Waking Watch

Overnight or continuous human monitoring of residential high-rise buildings where fire safety concerns exist — typically where cladding remediation is underway or a building has a simultaneous evacuation policy. Required by the Fire Safety Act 2021.

Fire Warden

Trained personnel who manage safe evacuation, conduct roll calls, and coordinate with fire services during an emergency. Ideal for events, construction sites, offices, and buildings with complex evacuation requirements.

Why Leeds trusts KSS

Common questions

Fire watch questions — answered

Straight answers to the questions Leeds businesses ask most.

Security guard pricing in Leeds depends on several factors: the type of guard number of hours, site requirements, and whether you need specialised skills. Keep Safe & Secure provides bespoke, itemised quotes — typically within 24 hours of enquiry.

No minimum contract lock-in. We operate on flexible terms tailored to your needs — from a single-night event deployment to long-term ongoing contracts. You’re never trapped in a contract that no longer suits you. This is one of our core differentiators vs. larger national security firms.

No. Our site survey and risk assessment is completely free with no obligation. One of our security consultants will visit your premises, assess your specific risks, and produce a tailored recommendation. This service is provided free of charge whether or not you proceed with KSS.

The cost of manned guarding services in Leeds typically depends on site risk level, required hours, guard experience and whether 24/7 coverage is needed. Pricing is influenced by SIA licensing, responsibilities such as access control or incident management.
