Bug Sweep Services in London

A bug sweep is required when there is a specific concern that a listening, tracking, or covert monitoring device may be present.

In London, dense infrastructure, shared access, and frequent third-party entry make covert device placement far easier than most people realise.

Our London bug sweep services focus on identifying and validating the presence of covert surveillance devices — discreetly, lawfully, and without unnecessary disruption.

What a bug sweep actually looks for

Our London bug sweeps are designed to detect:

• Covert audio listening devices

• GSM, LTE, and IP-based bugs

• Hidden microphones disguised as everyday objects

• GPS, cellular, and BLE tracking devices

• Power-line or battery-powered transmitters

• Residual devices left after previous access

Every potential detection is validated, not assumed.

When a London bug sweep is appropriate

Clients typically request a bug sweep following:

• Legal disputes or litigation

• Corporate negotiations or board activity

• Relationship breakdowns

• Insider concerns or unexplained knowledge leaks

• Media exposure or investigative work

• Occupancy of new or temporary premises

If information exposure would have real consequences, a bug sweep is appropriate.

Common London environments we sweep

We regularly conduct bug sweeps across London in:

• Executive offices and boardrooms

• Law firms and private meeting rooms

• High-value apartments and townhouses

• Hotels and serviced accommodation

• Vehicles used for sensitive travel

• Temporary or short-term workspaces

Each sweep is scoped to the specific access history and usage of the environment.

How this differs from a full TSCM sweep

A bug sweep is targeted.

It focuses specifically on:

• Listening devices

• Tracking devices

• Active or residual covert transmitters

A full TSCM engagement includes broader:

• Infrastructure analysis

• Hybrid digital-physical assessment

• Insider risk indicators

If wider risk is identified during a bug sweep, we will advise clearly and proportionately.
