Private Investigation Services UK for Individuals and Commercial Customers
We offer many different private investigation services to suit our customers’ needs, including professional surveillance for the finding of individuals who may have evaded tracing by other agents, debugging, private investigators, private detectives, fraud investigation, matrimonial investigation, Photographic and video evidence, and employee absenteeism.
In 2001, the government passed the licensing of private investigators and private investigation firms in the UK over to the Security Industry Authority (SIA), which acted as the regulatory body from then on. However, due to the cutbacks of this agency, licensing of private investigators in the UK was halted indefinitely. At present, no government-backed authorities in the UK license private investigators.
The SIA have announced that PIs in the UK were to become licensed for the first time from May 2015, but this is only the scheduled date for the issue to be discussed in parliament. In December 2014, Corporate Livewire produced an article written by a UK private investigator at BAR Investigations, addressing the issues surrounding private investigation in the UK.

How Much Does a Private Investigator Cost?
A professional investigation service is not something that is mass-produced and comes off-the-rack with a price tag attached to it. The cost of every private investigation is different and will depend upon a number of factors including:
- The number of investigators required
- When the investigation takes place (daytime, evening or through the night)
- The need for any special equipment
Of course, there is no such thing as a ‘typical’ investigation, much as there is no ’typical’ car on the roads today. Every investigation is unique and whilst many of the techniques and process we would undertake are similar, every case is different. A large area of private work is often involved in the suspicion of matrimonial and adultery. The Daily MAil wrote about one case of it here.
