SERVICES

What we actually do on your job.

Four things, done properly. No shopping centres, no nightclubs, no licensed premises. Screen work is the whole business.

01

Unit base & set security

Your base is where the expensive things sit unattended. We run controlled access on and off, manage the gate so crew move without friction and strangers don’t, and cover it overnight when the trucks stay put.

02

Locations & traffic

Holding a street costs you the shot if it’s done badly. We run closures and pedestrian management so the public gets through without walking into frame, and without anyone ending up angry enough to call the council.

Road and lane closures · Pedestrian routing · Intermittent stop-go · Residential liaison · Public and rubbernecker management

03

Perimeters & asset protection

Standing sets, fenced compounds and gear left out over a weekend. We hold the line on the perimeter and stay there through the quiet hours, which is when things actually go missing.

Fenced perimeters and gates · Standing set protection · Overnight and weekend guarding · Equipment and vehicle watch · Incident reporting

04

Studio & backlot

Long-running contracts where we become part of how the place operates, from first build through to wrap. Rosters that hold up over months, not just the week you booked.

HOW IT WORKS

Tell us the dates, the location and what you’re worried about. You get a quote from the person who will be accountable for the job, not a sales desk. We book crew against your call sheet, brief them on what your production actually needs, and you get one point of contact for the duration.

Late changes are normal in this industry. Ring us and we will tell you honestly whether we can cover it.
