Bit of a length of string question. Depends on how good the security needs to be. Some guys - ex SF - charge hundreds per day. An old chap with a battered maglite will be considerably less.

How big is the property/grounds? And what are you protecting - if just piece of mind it will be very different to someone high profile needing the protection or a collection of antiques/cars worth millions.

Sorry, is that £320 + vat per night or per 7 nights? Coz if it's per night i'll be round with a nasty Alsation, a licenced shot gun (shooting rabbits officer) and an inbred chav nesbit that doesn't mind sleeping rough on your land who can spot a theif from 500yds. In the dark.


£300 + VAT per night.

lol, jokers...I know there are many factors involved, but wanted a rough ballpark figure. I had a feeling it would be about £200 - £300 a night

If you do call them, the link is for Ward Security, Omiga Security is our company. Just thought I'd better clarify as I wasn't sure if you put a typo in there or not. biggrin

I'm guessing it is £320+VAT per week.

Since I said it was £320+VAT per week, then I guess thats what I meant!
