Immediate
Response
Immediate Response is a pay as you go callout service available to businesses and individuals across Kent and London. It is designed for situations where a professional security presence is needed urgently and where an existing keyholding or patrol contract is not in place.
It is not a substitute for a contracted security arrangement. If your business has regular security requirements, a contracted service will always provide better value, faster response times and a more structured level of protection. But when something happens unexpectedly and you need help now, Immediate Response is there.

FAQ
Immediate Response FAQs
Is Immediate Response available outside Kent and London?
No. The Immediate Response service is currently available in Kent and London only. If you are outside these areas and have an urgent security requirement, contact us and we will advise on the most appropriate solution.
How quickly will an operative arrive?
Response times depend on your location and our availability at the time of booking. Our control room will contact you following your booking to provide an expected arrival time. We aim to respond as quickly as possible given these factors.
Do I need an account or existing contract with TMS Protection?
No. Immediate Response is a pay as you go service with no requirement for an existing account or contract. Payment is taken securely at the time of booking.
What if the operative finds a break-in in progress?
The operative will not confront an intruder. Their immediate priority is their own safety and the safety of any other people at the premises. They will withdraw to a safe distance, contact police immediately and provide a full account of the situation. They will remain on site to assist police on arrival.
Can I use Immediate Response as a one-off alternative to a keyholding contract?
Immediate Response is designed for one-off situations rather than as an ongoing alternative to a keyholding contract. If you have regular alarm response requirements, a keyholding package will provide faster response times, better value and a more structured service. We recommend reviewing our keyholding packages if you find yourself needing regular out of hours cover.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payment is taken securely through Stripe at the time of booking. We accept all major credit and debit cards.
