These are indicative Yorkshire and Lincolnshire planning figures — not fixed prices. They give you a realistic cost range for budgeting and early-stage comparison. Actual costs depend on site complexity, shift patterns and service design. How much do mobile patrols cost in Hull and East Yorkshire? Indicative mobile patrol pricing depends on your site location, the number of visits required, the times of attendance and any alarm response or lock-up duties included. The planner gives a starting estimate, but a tailored quote is recommended for multi-site or higher-risk premises. What affects the cost of keyholding and alarm response? Keyholding and alarm response costs are typically influenced by the number of keys held, your site location, expected response profile, opening hours and whether the service is standalone or combined with patrols or lock and unlock visits. Can SPS combine patrols, lock and unlock, inspections and guarding into one plan? Yes. A mixed security model can combine mobile patrols, keyholding, lock and unlock services, vacant property inspections and guarding support to match your site risk, opening times and budget more efficiently than a single-service approach. Can I compare guarding costs with mobile patrols? Yes. Start with a traditional guarding benchmark using the Guarding Estimator, then return here to layer in patrols, keyholding and other services. The planner shows how different service mixes affect overall cost. Is this a formal security quote? No. This is a consultative planning tool. For a formal quote tailored to your specific site, contact SPS Security to arrange a free security review.

An illustrative package might combine mobile patrols with keyholding and alarm response. Mobile patrols: 2 visits per night × 7 nights at an illustrative rate from £12.50 per visit = from £175 per week. Keyholding and alarm response: from £250 per year. Indicative monthly range: from £780–£900, depending on visit frequency, alarm activation history and site-specific risk factors. **Important:** Figures are illustrative ‘from’ benchmarks based on published indicative rates, not a quotation. Assumes standard access, no additional patrol stops and excludes any one-off setup costs. Rates are reviewed annually, or quarterly where set by contract terms; figures may not reflect current pricing. Request a free quote for a price specific to your site. ## Understanding your results The planner produces a cost summary covering: Annual, monthly and weekly cost projections for selected services Service band classification based on your chosen mix Breakdown of patrol visit costs, keyholding fees and lock/unlock charges Complexity notes where additional factors may affect final pricing **Limitations:** These are indicative Yorkshire & Lincolnshire planning figures — not fixed quotes. Use them for budgeting, sense-checking and early commercial planning. ## Common mistakes to avoid ### Only budgeting for one service type A single service rarely covers every risk period. Planning across patrols, keyholding and inspections together often produces better coverage at a proportionate cost. ### Using last year's spend as this year's budget Site risks, operating patterns and market rates change. A fresh cost model based on current needs avoids over- or under-spending. ### Ignoring bank holiday and weekend uplifts Many services carry premium rates outside standard hours. A budget that excludes these will understate the true annual cost. ### Comparing providers without standardising the service mix Two quotes covering different services or frequencies are not comparable. Use consistent inputs when benchmarking. ## What happens next? 1 Review your cost summary and identify which services are essential and which are optional. 2 Use the Guarding Estimator if guarding is a significant part of your plan. 3 Compare your plan against alternative models using the Security Comparator. 4 Contact SPS Security for a tailored quote based on your specific site. 5 Share the planning figures internally to support budget approval.
