Handover changes who uses the premises
A contractor may still be completing work while a managing team begins taking responsibility. Different entrances, working areas and contact arrangements can apply during that transition.
Our dog-handler guarding can be organised around the designated areas still needing protection. A security officer can support access duties where people from more than one team are attending. The aim is a practical assignment that matches the current stage of the premises.
Carry the instructions into the next stage
Smartoo supports versioned site documents and client document sharing. Those capabilities can help management organise revised instructions and record the relevant document responses.
For the client, the useful distinction is between an older project instruction and the document now applying to the assignment. Keeping them identifiable helps prevent an outdated arrangement from becoming the next team's starting point.
Specialist searches remain available

Drug detection dog hire can support a workplace or event search requirement before or after the transition. Our trained handler coordinates with the nominated contact and communicates findings through the arranged route.
Incident emails and portal records keep submitted reports available to the client. Hourly photographs support dog-handler patrol updates during guarding cover.
Keep protection in place between completion and occupation
A handover date does not always mean the property becomes fully occupied that day. Materials can remain awaiting collection, final trades may return and a managing agent may be preparing the next stage. We provide canine security for those in-between periods, giving designated buildings and external areas a physical patrol presence during the hours you book.
Your handler's duties can change as areas move out of the contractor's control and into the customer's operation. We coordinate the updated arrangement with your representative, keeping the working boundary understandable to the team on site. Hourly patrol photographs support the record of activity, and relevant observations are reported rather than left for the incoming manager to discover. If trades need an attended entrance while the handler patrols, a separate security officer can provide that fixed role. You can arrange cover for a few shifts or continue it into occupation.
A detection visit at the stage you need it
Drug detection dog hire can support a workplace or event without becoming part of every guarding shift. Our trained specialist handler manages the search, communicates with your nominated contact and reports relevant findings. That visit can be organised while other security personnel continue their existing duties, giving each part of the operation a clear purpose.
Where responsibility for the premises is changing, we establish who is commissioning the search and who should receive the information. A contractor's instruction for one area should not be confused with the managing agent's requirements for another. Our team helps arrange the search period and access after the initial call. The handler searches with a dog trained for target odours; general canine guarding remains a separate patrol service. Your proposal can include either one or both, with the hours and costs identified clearly.
Three decisions that make a handover easier
First, identify when the outgoing team stops controlling access and when the next representative takes over. Second, separate areas still being worked on from spaces that have already been handed over. Third, establish who deals with a reported issue spanning that change. These decisions make the security assignment easier to follow and reduce the need for the night team to seek clarification about everyday arrangements.
We help carry those details into the service rather than asking you to produce a lengthy document before requesting a quotation. For a phased handover, the booking can identify different dates and duties for different periods. The client portal keeps submitted incident history and shared documents available, so the new representative has a route to relevant information. You can then review whether the next phase needs the same patrol hours, additional fixed guarding or a shorter assignment.
Barking Riverside and IG11 coverage
Our Barking Riverside service covers premises in IG11, with wider cover also available through Fast K9 Security Limited. The district includes locations beyond Barking Riverside; it is a coverage reference rather than a boundary for a particular project. Give us the site address when arranging attendance so the correct entrance and premises are identified.
Training, licensing and insurance
Fast K9 Security Limited holds ISO 9001 certification, SafeContractor approval and Constructionline Gold membership. Public liability insurance is in place. Relevant security personnel hold valid SIA licences, our general-purpose security dog handlers hold NASDU Level 2 handler training, and drug detection assignments use trained specialist handlers.
These credentials sit alongside the practical service you receive: personnel carrying out defined duties, operations coordinating the assignment and reports that keep you informed. Our team can discuss the relevant supporting information with your procurement or facilities representative.

Plan your site coverClear prices before you book
Selected planned, recurring security dog-handler assignments start from £16.50 + VAT per hour. This starting rate does not apply automatically to every booking. Your quotation identifies the service, hours, applicable rate and any additional charges.
Single shifts, temporary projects, urgent requirements, nights, weekends and bank holidays can all be quoted. Drug detection dog hire is priced separately for the search assignment. If you want guarding and detection together, we explain both elements in the proposal.

Questions about changing responsibility
Can you stay on after a contractor leaves?
Yes. We can organise the following period with the responsible client representative and set out the duties for that stage.
Can a managing agent receive the incident reports?
Yes. The reporting arrangement can use the authorised contact managing the premises and the relevant portal access.
Can we book a search without extending the guarding contract?
Yes. A specialist detection visit can be purchased as a separate assignment with its own search period.
Do we need the final occupation date before enquiring?
No. Start with the cover currently needed; we can discuss the proposed stages and explain the booking terms.
