Professional door security for hospitality venues
Fully SIA licensed door supervisors who protect your venue, your guests, and your reputation. Trained in conflict management, customer service, and compliance — deployed to the highest standard across London and the Home Counties.
More than just a presence on the door
Door supervision is the front line of your venue’s security and the first point of contact for every guest. At Luxe, we treat it as exactly that — a skilled, customer-facing role that demands professionalism, awareness, and the ability to make every visitor feel welcome while keeping your premises safe.
Our approach
We don’t supply generic security staff. Every door supervisor we deploy is selected for your specific venue, briefed on your operation, and trained to represent your brand. We combine SIA compliance with genuine hospitality expertise to deliver a service that makes a measurable difference to your guest experience and your peace of mind.
The Luxe standard
Every operative is SIA licensed, DBS checked, first-aid trained, and vetted to BS 7858 standards. But beyond the paperwork, we look for communication skills, professionalism, and the ability to read a room. It’s what separates competent security from exceptional door supervision.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about our door supervision service.
What is an SIA Door Supervisor licence?
The SIA (Security Industry Authority) Door Supervisor licence is a legal requirement for anyone working in a door supervision role at licensed premises in the UK. It confirms the holder has completed approved training in conflict management, physical intervention, and relevant legislation. At Luxe, every operative holds a valid, current licence which we verify before every deployment.
How quickly can you provide door staff?
For planned requirements, we typically confirm your team within 48 hours of receiving your request. For emergency or last-minute cover, our rapid deployment service can have licensed door supervisors on-site within 4 hours across London and the Home Counties.
Do your door supervisors wear uniforms?
Yes. Our standard deployment includes professional Luxe-branded uniforms. We can also provide venue-branded or plain-clothed operatives to match your establishment’s style and customer expectations.
What areas do you cover?
We provide door supervision services across Central London, East London, West London, South London, North London, and the Home Counties including Surrey, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, and Buckinghamshire.
How do you ensure quality and compliance?

Can you provide door supervisors for one-off events?
Absolutely. Whether it’s a private function, corporate event, or seasonal peak, we provide flexible door supervision tailored to one-off requirements with the same level of professionalism as our regular contracts.
What happens if there’s an incident at my venue?
Our door supervisors are trained to respond proportionately and professionally to all incidents. Every incident is documented in a detailed report submitted to you, including descriptions, actions taken, witness details, and any police reference numbers. This supports your licensing obligations and provides a clear audit trail.
