Student Accommodation Security

Student Accommodation Security Services

Create a safe and supportive living environment for students with professional security services tailored to student halls, flats, and university housing.

Safety and Reassurance for Students and Staff

Student accommodation requires a sensitive yet effective approach to security. With large numbers of young residents, shared facilities, and round-the-clock activity, a strong security presence is essential to maintain order and prevent incidents.

Cardinal Security provides trained, approachable officers to monitor access points, patrol buildings, and respond to emergencies or disturbances. Our team is skilled in working within student environments, promoting safety while remaining friendly, non-intrusive, and professional.

We help ensure students feel protected throughout their stay—especially during late-night arrivals, exam seasons, and term breaks.

Tailored Services for Halls, Flats & Campus Residences

No two sites are the same. Whether you're managing university halls of residence or private student flats, we provide bespoke security packages that meet your exact requirements.

Services include manned guarding, CCTV monitoring, mobile patrols, keyholding, and reception-based support. We’re also experienced in assisting with student welfare, handling noise complaints, and liaising with university staff when necessary.

With flexible coverage during move-in weekends, holiday periods, and academic events, we adapt our support to suit your term calendar and student needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes student accommodation security different?

Student sites often involve younger residents, late-night activities, and communal living. Our officers are trained to be approachable while enforcing rules and responding to issues discreetly. We focus on both safety and student well-being.

Can you provide overnight security patrols?

Yes. We offer overnight patrols and static guarding to protect students during vulnerable hours. Our officers can monitor entrances, patrol corridors and external areas, and deal with noise complaints or disturbances as they arise.

How do your officers handle welfare concerns?

Our staff are trained to remain alert to signs of distress or unusual behaviour. If needed, they can escalate welfare concerns to accommodation managers, emergency contacts, or emergency services, depending on the situation.

Do you work with universities or private landlords?

We work with both. Whether you manage university-owned residences or private student developments, we tailor our services accordingly and ensure seamless communication with your internal teams or building management.

Can your team help during check-ins and move-outs?

Absolutely. We can provide extra security during busy check-in and check-out periods to assist with crowd control, access management, and overall site safety. This helps reduce stress for both students and staff.
