Estate and Gated Community Security

  1. Visitor confirmation: guards call the resident before any visitor, taxi or delivery is let in.
  2. Vehicle control: resident stickers or access cards, plus logging of every visitor vehicle.
  3. Domestic staff register: a record of house helps, gardeners and drivers approved by each household.
  4. Perimeter patrols: scheduled patrols of fences, walls and common areas, day and night.
  5. Committee reporting: regular incident reports and review meetings with the estate committee.

Home Security Tips for Kenyan Homeowners

Good residential security services in Kenya work best alongside simple habits. These home security tips help families in Nairobi and across the country stay safer:

  • Light up the perimeter

    Bright security lights on walls and gates remove the dark spots intruders rely on.

  • Control your keys

    Keep a record of who holds keys and change locks when staff leave.

  • Vet domestic staff

    Ask for identification and references for house helps, gardeners and drivers.

  • Test your alarm

    Check alarms and panic buttons regularly so they work when you need them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Security Services in Kenya

What do residential security services include?

Residential security services include trained guards at your gate, access control, visitor management, regular patrols, CCTV and alarm response. We combine these based on the size of your home and your level of risk.

How much do residential security services in Kenya cost?

The cost depends on the number of guards, the shift pattern (day, night or 24-hour), whether you add CCTV or alarms, and the size of the property. Guards must be paid at least the government-set minimum wage, so be cautious of quotes far below the market. We offer a free home security assessment and a personalised quote.

Can I hire a security guard for my home at night only?

Yes. Night-only guards on a 12-hour shift are a popular choice for homes. You can also choose day guards or 24-hour cover.

Do you provide security for gated estates and apartments?

Yes. We provide guard teams, access control, visitor management and patrols for gated communities, apartment blocks and residential estates, and we report to the estate committee or property manager.

Are your residential guards vetted?

Yes. Every guard goes through identity checks, police clearance and reference checks before working at any home.

What happens if my guard is absent?

We send a trained relief guard so your gate is never left unattended.

Can I combine guards with CCTV and an alarm?

Yes. Many homeowners combine a guard with CCTV and alarm response for complete protection under one contract.
