Yard, HGV, Logistics & Industrial Site Security

Yards and compounds across the UK face constant threats of theft, intrusion and asset damage. From HGV and logistics yards to plant hire depots, scrap and metal recycling sites, builder’s yards, vehicle storage yards, container yards, transport hubs and distribution centres — every site holding valuable equipment or materials is a target.

Night Cover Security provides specialist yard and compound protection for all high-risk environments. Our SIA-licensed officers and NASDU-certified dog units deliver a layered defence that includes visible deterrence, controlled access management, perimeter patrols, rapid alarm response and active monitoring of critical areas.

We secure every type of yard, including:

• HGV yards and haulage depots
• Logistics and distribution yards
• Scrap metal and recycling yards
• Plant hire and machinery yards
• Builder’s yards and construction storage areas
• Vehicle storage and auction yards
• Container yards and shipping compounds
• Timber, aggregate and material yards
• Waste, skip hire and recycling centres
• Industrial estates and commercial compounds

This integrated approach reduces intrusion attempts, prevents equipment theft and protects vehicles, materials and assets 24/7, 365 days a year.

On-Site Guarding, Perimeter Control & Yard Operations Support

High-risk yards rely on visible, proactive security. Our officers are trained to manage the daily movement of vehicles, plant, and materials across busy environments such as HGV haulage yards, logistics hubs, plant hire compounds, scrap and metal recycling sites, vehicle storage yards, builder’s yards and large industrial estates.

We tailor each deployment to your site layout and activity levels, providing a consistent presence at gates, access points and vulnerable areas. Officers carry out regular patrols, supervise vehicle movements, monitor high-value machinery, and respond immediately to alarms or suspicious activity.

For sites requiring additional protection outside staffed hours, we can integrate remote monitoring, audio alerts, and our Virtual Officer service — adding further detection without replacing on-site guarding.

This combined approach keeps access controlled, assets protected and every part of your yard secure 24/7, regardless of industry or operational hours.
