Private & Corporate Investigation FAQs
A Private Investigator’s job is to help private clients or corporate organisations gather facts for difficult and sensitive situations. Private Investigators are here to offer anonymous advice to anyone in need and will gather evidence discreetly & confidently which can later on be presented in a courtroom if needs be. A Private Investigator will always act lawfully. Common duties include monitoring and tracking, personal background checks, tracing missing people, employee absenteeism and history checks as well as investigating fraud and theft.
We offer a variety of services to our clients. The cost of investigations can differ greatly depending on the client’s requests. We understand that no two investigations are the same, therefore we pride ourselves on offering a unique and personal service, bespoke to the client’s requests and budget.
For our private clients we ask that
payment is made in full prior to any
investigation commencing, this prevents
any delay with the process and allows us
to provide the evidential report
immediately to our clients within hours of
the completion of the investigation.
For our corporate clients please contact
us to discuss our options for accounts.

GPS Tracker Rental FAQs

Our private investigators are extremely experienced in placing our GPS Trackers on a full range of vehicles, ensuring that the chance of discovery is always minimal. There is however a very small possibility that the tracking device can be discovered if a vehicle went into a mechanic garage and work was conducted in the area of the tracking device for example. In this case, the GPS tracking device can be wiped of information remotely, meaning the finder will find the device unusable. The GPS Tracking device has no labelling or signage that connects it with Surveillance UK, meaning this can never be traced back to us or you as the client.
Having a GPS tracking device deployed on a subject’s vehicle allows for Private Investigators conducting the surveillance the ability to locate a vehicle that may not be in the assumed location as the day’s observations start meaning the hours of surveillance a client is paying for is put to best use.
No, our private investigators are trained and experienced in deploying gps tracking devices onto a range of vehicles and understand how to deploy a tracking device to ensure the device remains hidden and undiscoverable while providing accurate reporting..
