Scrap yards, recycling centres, and HGV depots remain some of the UK’s most frequently targeted sites, with industry reports showing that metal theft alone costs businesses over £360 million a year. Organised gangs know these yards hold high-value materials and plant equipment — making them a constant risk.

​

Night Cover Security delivers specialist protection designed for these environments, combining the unmatched deterrence of NASDU-certified dog units with experienced SIA-licensed guards where required.

Our tailored deployments provide:

​

• Dog patrols covering perimeters and compounds — one dog team is proven to be as effective as 3–4 static guards

• Gatehouse & access control by trained officers to monitor vehicles, visitors, and staff

• Rapid response to suspicious activity, guided by both canine instinct and handler expertise

• Visible deterrence that prevents opportunists and deters organised groups before they strike

​

With a dog-and-guard layered defence, you gain wider coverage, faster reaction times, and a cost-effective solution that significantly reduces risk. Whether protecting scrap metals, heavy plant, or HGV fleets, our teams ensure your yard remains secure 24/7, 365 days a year.
