Door Supervisor Hire
Door supervisors do far more than work a door. Our SIA-licensed door supervisors manage entry and ID checks, search where required, handle conflict and refusals professionally, monitor capacity, and keep licensed premises compliant and safe.
We supply door supervisors for bars, clubs, private hire venues, ticketed events and one-off functions across London and the Home Counties — presentable, calm and trained to defuse rather than escalate.
What’s included
- SIA front-line licensed Door Supervisors
- ID, age and ticket verification
- Searching and prohibited-item screening to a documented policy
- Capacity counting and licensed-premises compliance
- Conflict management, refusals and lawful ejections
- Incident recording and refusal/ejection logs
From first call to post-event report
Define the door
We agree entry policy, search policy, dress code and capacity limits with you.
Brief & licence-check
Officers are verified on the SIA register and briefed on your venue and policies.
Work the event
Door supervisors manage entry, capacity and conduct, keeping logs as they go.
Hand over
You receive refusal/ejection logs and any incident notes after the event.
What does it cost?
Door supervisors typically cost £22–£35 per supervisor per hour, with London late-night work at the higher end. A standard four-hour minimum applies, and most venues book pairs rather than lone supervisors for safety.
We recommend a minimum of two supervisors on most doors for safety and lawful searching.
What affects the price
- Number of supervisors and total hours
- Late-night, weekend and bank-holiday timing
- Venue capacity and risk profile
- Search requirements and dress code

Door Supervisor Hire — FAQs
What is a door supervisor?
A door supervisor is an SIA-licensed security officer authorised to work at licensed premises and events — controlling entry, searching, managing capacity and handling conflict. The role requires more training than a basic security guard licence. Our door supervision explained guide covers it in full.
How many door supervisors do I need?
Licensing conditions often set a ratio (for example one per 100 guests after a threshold), but the right number depends on capacity, alcohol and layout. We will advise a compliant, safe figure for your venue.
Are your door supervisors insured?
Yes — all deployments carry full public liability insurance, and every supervisor holds a verified front-line SIA Door Supervision licence.
