Security Guards

Professional security guard on duty

The best security guard is the one you never have to think about — quietly present, alert at the gate, and unfailingly courteous to your family and guests. HomeStaff security guards protect homes, guest houses, offices and construction sites across the twin cities. Every guard is ex-service or formally trained, police-verified, and drilled in gate discipline, visitor logging, patrol routes and emergency response.

What Our Security Guards Do

A HomeStaff guard’s shift follows a written duty sheet: gate control with a visitor register, screening of domestic staff and deliveries, hourly perimeter patrols after dark, CCTV monitoring where fitted, and immediate escalation of anything unusual. Family homes get guards who know school pickup routines and delivery windows; commercial clients get fire-watch, parking discipline and incident reporting. Night shifts run on a 12-hour pattern with strict no-sleep enforcement.

How We Verify

Security screening is our most rigorous: police clearance plus court-record check, identity verification, and confirmation of ex-Army, Rangers, Police or certified-guard-training background. We verify service documents for ex-servicemen, test alertness at interview, and run our own two-day orientation on gate discipline and family etiquette. Guards report to our supervisor with unannounced night checks.

Pricing and Schedules

Full-time (12-hour shift) armed-category guards start from PKR 35,000–45,000 per month; unarmed trained guards from PKR 30,000–40,000. Twenty-four-hour coverage uses two guards on rotation. Event security and site security for construction or guest houses are quoted per head per day.

FAQs

Are your guards armed?

Armed guards (licence-held) are available on request for high-security homes and businesses; our standard residential guards are unarmed and trained in observation and escalation.

Can we hire for night hours only?

Yes — 12-hour night shifts are the most common booking. Splits and 24-hour double-guard coverage are also available.

Do you supervise the guards after placement?

Yes. Our supervisor visits unannounced, and guards log handover reports. Families also get our office number for instant replacement.

What if a guard sleeps on night duty?

Our unannounced checks and penalty system make this rare. If you report it, we replace the guard within 24 hours at no cost.

Can one guard cover a gatehouse with CCTV?

Yes — our orientation includes CCTV monitoring. Where a site needs it, we quote for a monitoring-trained guard.
