Our Core Physical Protection Products
Gateways & Barrier
Control access from the outset. Gateways and barriers help define site entry points, restrict unauthorised vehicle access and improve control over how people and traffic move through a location. They are ideal for exposed sites, temporary projects and environments where access needs to be clearly managed.
Steel Doors
Heavy-duty protection where it matters most. Steel doors are one of the most effective ways to secure a building quickly. They help prevent forced entry, theft, vandalism and unlawful occupation, making them a key solution for vacant and high-risk properties.
Bluetooth Security Doors
Stronger doors. Smarter control. Our steel security doors are designed for properties that need dependable physical protection without delay. Keyed options provide straightforward, robust security, while Bluetooth-enabled doors offer smarter access management with greater flexibility for approved users.
Fencing Services
Clear boundaries. Visible deterrence. Fencing is a practical and effective way to secure site lines, separate risk zones and control access. Suitable for construction sites, vacant property, infrastructure environments and public-facing locations.
Steel Security Screens
Secure vulnerable openings. Steel screens provide a tough, highly visible layer of protection for windows and glazed areas that are often targeted first. They help reduce damage, deter break-ins and support safer site management.
Better security starts now.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: The right physical security solution depends on understanding the risks associated with each property or site, including its location, vulnerabilities and how long protection is required. VPS provides temporary physical security measures including perimeter protection, steel security doors, security screens, fencing, hoarding and concrete barriers to help deter unauthorised access and protect people, property and assets.
Physical security is often most effective as part of a layered approach. For example, perimeter protection can help prevent access to a site, while monitored technology can provide additional protection for specific assets such as plant, machinery or vulnerable areas within the site. By combining solutions based on the risk profile, organisations can create a proportionate security strategy.
A: Steel security doors provide a robust temporary barrier to protect vulnerable access points from unauthorised entry, vandalism and theft. They are particularly useful when a property becomes vacant, replacing less secure existing doors and helping establish a controlled access point for authorised users.
By installing a temporary steel security door, VPS helps organisations manage who can access the property while it remains vacant, supporting safer access for approved contractors, agents and other authorised parties. Steel security doors are commonly used across vacant properties, commercial premises, construction sites and other locations where temporary protection is required.
A: VPS provides a range of temporary physical security solutions designed to protect properties, sites and assets against unauthorised access, vandalism, theft and other security risks.
Solutions include:
- Steel security doors – providing robust protection for vulnerable access points while allowing controlled access management.
- Steel security screens – protecting windows and openings while maintaining natural light and ventilation.
- Perimeter protection – including fencing, gates and barriers to help secure site boundaries and control access.
- Concrete barriers – helping prevent vehicle access and protect vulnerable areas without the need for permanent foundations.
- Hoarding solutions – providing secure boundaries, privacy and protection around sites such as construction projects.
The right solution depends on the specific risk, environment and duration of protection required.
A: Steel security screens provide a durable alternative to traditional boarding for protecting vulnerable windows and openings. VPS high-security perforated steel screens allow natural light and ventilation into a property while creating a strong physical barrier against unauthorised access.
Designed to fit securely within existing window openings without damaging the building fabric, they provide a discreet but effective solution for vacant properties and other vulnerable sites where temporary protection is required.
A: When a security risk emerges, rapid deployment is often essential. VPS provides temporary physical security solutions that can be installed quickly to protect vulnerable properties, sites and perimeters.
Our solutions can be deployed for a range of scenarios, including vacant properties, construction projects, retail environments, unauthorised access risks and changing site requirements. Because our solutions are temporary, they can be installed for the required period and removed or adapted as the security risk changes.
