A visible presence when your street is quiet.
Local eyes and ears. Greater peace of mind.
From concerns about car door handles to antisocial behaviour, start with your home and invite your neighbours to share the cost of agreed patrols.
Just your property is enough. Request one visit, regular checks or help deciding what cover you need. No neighbours or credit bundle required.
A patrol is one agreed drive-by, uniformed walk-by or accessible exterior round, followed by a report. There is no fixed 20- or 30-minute duration: the officer takes the time needed to complete the agreed checks and report. The method must suit the property, access and duties. Continuous guarding or additional duties are quoted separately.
1. Tell us what you need.
Choose when to start, your preferred times and the checks you want.
2. We confirm the plan and price.
Tonight can be requested. We must confirm officer availability and an arrival window before a booking is agreed.
3. Receive your invoice, then pay.
Bank transfer is available. Credits are optional.
Exterior observation and reporting only. Back doors, gates and rear areas must be safely accessible with your permission. Entry, keys, alarm reset and repairs require a separate agreement.
For an urgent request, call 0333 577 2477 as well. This is not an emergency response service. Immediate danger or a crime in progress? Call 999.

Sparta reviews published police crime information alongside recent incidents, access, officer safety and the requested duties. A higher-risk assignment may need a price adjustment or a different staffing plan.
| Area review | Uplift | 8 a.m.–4 p.m. | 4–9 p.m. | 9 p.m.–8 a.m. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard after review | 0% | £35 | £45 | £65 |
| Increased assignment risk | 10% | £38.50 | £49.50 | £71.50 |
| Higher assignment risk | 20% | £42 | £54 | £78 |
These are proposed Sparta pricing bands, not police risk ratings. Police.uk data is published monthly and uses approximate locations. A low count, missing data or an unavailable area does not establish that a route is safe. Scotland requires a separate source because police.uk street-crime coverage there is limited to British Transport Police.
We do not automatically label your postcode or apply a fee from crime counts. The team explains the assessment, percentage and final total before you agree and pay. Serious risks or additional officers require a separate scope and quotation; a percentage increase alone does not make an assignment suitable.
Review your local area on Police.uk →Area checking is a manual review. This website does not yet fetch or score crime data automatically. An uplift preview is an estimate only.
Pick a fixed number of visits per calendar month. Prices below are estimates for the number of properties you select. You can request cover for just your own property.
Estimated monthly price for one property, using the night rate, including VAT.
12 visits on dates agreed with you.
Example: one visit on each of 28 agreed nights.
Example: two visits on each of 28 agreed nights.
28 visits = one visit on 28 nights. 56 visits = two visits on 28 nights. These are fixed monthly allowances, subject to route review and availability. They do not promise every night of a 30- or 31-day month. If you want one or two visits every night, we quote for the actual number of nights. Seven visits every week is a different schedule. Prices use your selected time band: £35, £45 or £65 + VAT per visit for one property. The shared-route estimate adds £5 + VAT per extra nearby property, then splits the total. All visits in the estimate use the same band; mixed schedules need an itemised quotation. Every household required by the plan must fund its agreed share. Rates are also subject to the reviewed and agreed area uplift. Sign inclusion, quantity, placement, patrol method, checks and schedule are confirmed in the quotation. Extra or replacement signs are quoted separately. Selecting a package starts no subscription.
As more nearby residents join, your community may be able to fund more patrol visits or additional officers. We agree the route, staffing and price before cover starts or changes.
Choose a proposed schedule, then tell us when to start and what you need checked. You can request cover just for your property. No credits are needed to enquire.
A credit costs £1.20 including VAT. The number of patrols depends on the time band and your approved route. Credits are spending value, not a fixed visit allowance.
| Patrol time | Credits per visit | 1,000 credits cover |
|---|---|---|
| 8 a.m.–4 p.m. | 35 | 28 visits + 20 credits left |
| 4 p.m.–9 p.m. | 45 | 22 visits + 10 credits left |
| 9 p.m.–8 a.m. | 65 | 15 visits + 25 credits left |
For the shared-route estimate, add 5 credits per visit for each extra nearby property, then divide the whole route cost between the participating homes. For two homes, an evening route is 50 credits per visit, or 25 credits each. An overnight route is 70 credits, or 35 credits each.
All required contributions must be funded before the route starts. The team confirms the route, duration, dates, time bands, final prices and credit terms before payment. Visits in different time bands are itemised separately in the quotation.
Choose my patrol package →Opposite, next door or around the corner can work. We check actual distance, safe access and the time needed at each property. Sharing a postcode alone does not guarantee the same route price.
Every household required by the approved shared plan must pay its agreed contribution by the payment deadline. A ten-household plan requires ten verified paying households; it is not confirmed when only seven pay. This means the required participants, not every person living on the street.
The shared route does not start without the agreed minimum. If it is not reached by the stated deadline, the team refunds payments collected for that unconfirmed route. Any revised group, price or later start needs fresh agreement. Nobody automatically pays another household’s unpaid share. A solo check can be quoted separately.
Agree how your household will receive patrol updates before booking: photographs, the visit date and time, checks completed and any concerns reported.
For shared patrols, each participating household should receive its authorised update. Private property details and incident photographs are not automatically shared with the whole street.
Requests currently go to the team on WhatsApp. The team confirms your reporting channel in the brief. Reports and manually confirmed credit balances are not automatically added to existing Sparta accounts.

Each neighbour would buy their own credits and use them towards their agreed share. A shared patrol starts only when the route is approved and all required contributions are funded.
