Security guards that protect your Edinburgh premises
Crystal Facilities Management provides SIA-licensed security guard services across Edinburgh and the Lothians — professional manned guarding, mobile patrols, key holding and alarm response that protect your people, property and reputation around the clock.
Every officer is SIA-licensed, screened to BS 7858 and trained for the site they cover — from a corporate reception in the Exchange District to a construction compound or a distribution centre off the City Bypass and M8. Our guards are uniformed, presentable and backed by a 24/7 control room, GPS-tracked patrols and digital reporting, so you always have a clear record of what happened on site. Whether you need a single static officer, overnight cover or a full multi-site guarding contract, we deliver a reliable, ISO 9001-managed service with a dedicated account manager and rapid short-notice cover across the Lothians.
