We engaged Total Security Ltd during a particular period of the construction of our new greenkeeping facilities. With valuable equipment stored away we needed reliable overnight security at short notice. Alan, the owner, was excellent throughout. He understood our requirements could change at short notice and he ensured his team remained flexible and responsive at all times.We were particularly impressed by his professionalism and hands-on approach; Alan personally attended the site on the first day to oversee the setup of security tags and to brief his staff thoroughly on what was required.The service was competitively priced, and it was a pleasure to work with a local company that knows the area and provides trustworthy personnel.The Club would highly recommend Total Security Ltd.

We booked Total Control Security for an event with very little lead time and they were absolutely fantastic. The service was friendly and efficient from start to finish and security on the day was exemplary (going above and beyond what was required). I would highly recommend and would book again More...

The Total Control Security team were integral in helping to make our event a great success. They went above and beyond before and during the event to ensure we kept everything on track, with advice and assistance when needed, despite the occasionally difficult weather conditions. The team on site over the weekend handled the large number of people at our event superbly. They were polite, professional, approachable, flexible and helpful throughout the event and we very much appreciate it. They will certainly be our first call should we need security for future events. Highly recommended, thank you! More...

We hired the company to secure the Clyde Steamer Queen Mary at Govan Dry Docks recently. From the get-go, the professionalism, diligence and care which Alan and his team displayed was exceptional. Their comprehensive daily reporting system was extremely thorough and gave us every confidence that the ship and the site would be safe at night. A great company all round, and a pleasure to deal with! More...
