The Sandal Security Story.

Our commitment has always been simple: to provide reliable, expert security solutions, tailored to each individual client, with the personal touch that comes from being a local family-run business.

For over forty years, Sandal Security has been a cornerstone for security throughout the Yorkshire region.

From humble beginnings in 1984, our founders Mark and Gill began building the foundations for where we are today, from their home office in Sandal, Wakefield. Within just a few years we opened our first purpose-built premises and employed some of our core members of staff over 30 years ago, who shape our management team today.

The business went from strength to strength with the engineering team swiftly expanding, along with the range of services we offer growing to provide a complete Security Service to our loyal customers.

SSS soon gained NSI accreditation for our high standards of workmanship and service in 1997, which progressed into us achieving NSI GOLD status in 2004, a huge milestone that proves our commitment to quality of work. In 2014 we also achieved NSI FIRE GOLD and BAFE accreditation, meaning that we we’re officially accredited to the highest possible standard for both Security & Fire Services and have been from then on.

Over the past 40 years we’ve built our reputation on a commitment to quality, personal service and understanding the unique needs of our clients. We thrive ourselves on the relationships and trust we have built with our loyal customers and look forward to building many more.
