How Our Bug Sweeping Process Works
Our systematic approach to bug sweeping ensures no surveillance device remains undetected by combining advanced technology with thorough examination techniques developed over decades.
Step 1
Immediate Confidential Consultation
Contact us from a secure location, never from the suspected compromised area. We assess your situation, identify likely threat sources, and schedule your sweep at a time that maintains complete discretion. This consultation is entirely confidential and obligation-free.
Step 2
Professional TSCM Sweep
Our specialists arrive with state-of-the-art detection equipment to conduct a detailed search of every potential hiding location. We use RF detection covering frequencies from 1 MHz to 24 GHz, non-linear junction detectors that identify electronics even when powered off, and thermal imaging to reveal heat signatures from active bugging devices concealed within walls, ceilings, and furniture.
Step 3
Device Removal and Documentation
When surveillance devices are found, we safely remove them and photograph all evidence. You receive a detailed written report documenting findings, device types, locations, and technical specifications. Our reports are suitable for use in legal proceedings or gathering evidence for court.
Step 4
Security Recommendations and Protection
We provide comprehensive advice on preventing future intrusions, including securing electrical fittings, evaluating easy access points, and recommending ongoing counter surveillance techniques. Follow-up consultations ensure your continued protection against this evolving threat.

Our Specialised Bug Sweeping Services in Manchester
We offer thorough counter-surveillance services across Manchester, Greater Manchester, and the wider North West region. Our expert team works closely with private clients needing residential bug sweeps, as well as corporate clients requiring commercial sweeps for offices throughout the area.
Residential Bug Sweeping Manchester

Your home should be your sanctuary, a place where private conversations remain private and your personal life stays protected from intrusion. When that security is compromised, whether through a contentious divorce, property dispute, or unknown intruding party, our residential bug sweep restores your safety. We conduct complete home inspections covering every room, checking walls, ceilings, electrical fittings, smoke alarms, and furniture where such devices commonly hide. Our specialists detect hidden cameras, audio recorders, eavesdropping devices, and phone taps that may have been capturing your most intimate moments. Common scenarios include ex-partners knowing information they shouldn’t, landlords with easy access to your property, or simply unexplained feelings that something is wrong. Our thorough examination typically takes several hours for a standard property, with flexible scheduling that maintains complete discretion. Neighbours and family members need never know we visited. Every residential sweep includes a detailed report and security recommendations to prevent future intrusion, giving you back control of your own home.
Office Bug Sweeping Manchester
Corporate espionage costs British businesses billions annually, with trade secrets, merger discussions, and strategic plans vulnerable to competitors, dishonest employees, or industrial spies. An office bug sweep protects your most sensitive business information from unauthorised capture and data leaks. We focus on high-value areas where critical decisions occur, meeting rooms, executive offices, boardrooms, and computer systems. These locations represent prime targets for electronic bug installation, whether a Wi-Fi-enabled device in a conference phone or covert cameras monitoring your workspace. Our commercial debugging services detect bugs planted by employees with access to your business premises, competitors seeking unfair advantage, or unauthorised individuals who may have gained entry. We examine telecommunications equipment, presentation systems, and network infrastructure for signs of compromise. Written reports document all findings in formats suitable for internal investigations, legal proceedings, or insurance claims. We provide ongoing consultation to address new developments in surveillance technology and maintain your competitive advantage.

Vehicle Bug Sweeping Manchester

As mentioned earlier, GPS tracking devices have become affordable and easy to install, available online for under £50 and attachable in seconds. A vehicle bug sweep Manchester service examines your car, van, or entire fleet for concealed GPS tracking units, audio surveillance equipment, and recording devices. Common concerns include suspicious partners tracking movements, employers monitoring personal vehicles, or unknown parties following your location. Our specialists conduct thorough inspections of interior compartments, undercarriage areas, engine compartments, and OBD ports where trackers commonly hide. Vehicle sweeps typically require 1-2 hours per vehicle and can be conducted at our secure facility or an alternative location that maintains your privacy. We detect both active transmitters broadcasting your position in real-time and passive surveillance devices storing data for later retrieval.
Types of Surveillance Devices We Detect
We identify both active devices currently transmitting and dormant bugs designed to evade standard detection by activating only periodically. Our TSCM inspection capabilities cover the full spectrum of surveillance technology currently available, including advanced RF scanners, non-linear junction detectors, infrared and thermal imaging, as well as sophisticated signal analysers.
