Call 0203 668 3654 for a quotation and help organising the assignment.
Canine cover during a property transition
When a premises changes use, authorised activity can be irregular. Contractors may attend one day and leave the property unattended the next. A handler can work to agreed access instructions, check accessible external areas and bring visible deterrence to the quieter periods.
List the normal condition of entrances and any equipment or storage that remains. This helps distinguish an expected change from something that needs clarification. The assignment should also identify who currently has responsibility for the property; an old occupier's contact may no longer be able to approve a decision. Patrol work needs the current brief, not inherited assumptions.
Make responsibility clear at the changeover
Agree the point when responsibility passes from the current management team to the next. The security end time, property handover and contractor departure may not be simultaneous. Coverage can be organised around the actual sequence rather than one assumed completion time.
Confirm the reporting contact for the final shift and who receives unresolved matters. A property can look ready for occupation while an external entrance or storage arrangement still requires attention. Fast K9 Security Limited can provide temporary or recurring canine cover as your timetable changes. Start with the service, address and dates; the team can then help turn the transition timetable into an understandable security assignment.
A specialist search before a defined handover
Drug detection can be arranged as an authorised search within an Upper Norwood property-transition brief. Define the spaces, timing and client contact, especially if contractors or new users will enter immediately afterwards. The specialist booking has its own scope and quote.
Search findings should identify completed coverage and any inaccessible areas. An indication needs appropriate review and follow-up; it does not establish that a previous or incoming occupier is responsible. A negative result is specific to the search period and accessible space. Treat it as information for the handover decision rather than an assurance about all future use.
Preserve the context of what was found
Hourly patrol photographs form part of the assignment record. Customers have access to incident history and shared documents in the working portal, and submitted incidents generate client email notifications. Coordination uses the app, WhatsApp and email.
During a transition, a report should separate a pre-existing defect from a newly observed change where that distinction is known. Avoid guessing at when damage occurred. Record the observation and available context, then identify any unresolved action for the incoming responsible person. This is more useful than passing on a photograph with an implied explanation nobody has verified.

Upper Norwood FAQs
Can security continue between different occupiers?
Yes. Temporary canine cover can bridge a property transition, with access permissions and the responsible client contact agreed for the booking.
Can a booking extend if the handover date changes?
Tell the coordinating team as soon as the timetable changes so revised dates, duties and commercial arrangements can be organised.
Does a detection result identify who caused a problem?
No. An indication is not proof of responsibility or wrongdoing by an individual. The result needs context and appropriate follow-up.
What should the final handover explain?
It should identify relevant observations, actions already completed, access restrictions and unresolved matters needing attention from the next responsible person.
