Properly conducted surveillance work is one of the best ways to gather the evidence you need to make your case stand up in court.

We offer affordable and completely legal surveillance services to both individuals and corporations seeking evidence of someone’s activities. Our team of evidence-gathering specialists draws from their extensive training and experience in both counter and covert surveillance, as well as their backgrounds in a range of sectors such as law enforcement, security services and the military. P.E.L Consultancy Services are here to help ease your mind and find you the answers you need. So, whether you suspect your partner is being unfaithful, having trouble with employees or wish to investigate fraudulent activity, we can help.
What does Covert Surveillance involve?
Surveillance makes up a big portion of what PIs spend their time doing for personal and corporate investigations. However, not all surveillance operatives or subcontractors have the necessary training or stamina to ensure the success of these missions. Proper surveillance work demands high levels of alertness, keen observational skills and a thorough understanding of behavioural patterns, body language and sophisticated technology.
• Asset and vehicle tracking using live GPS trackers
• Recording via CCTV, sound recording surveillance devices or spy cameras.
• Cyber-surveillance. This service applies to both personal and corporate clients who wish to determine the exact manner in which their computers are being used.
• Discrete trailing. This is particularly common in matrimonial investigations.
• Background checks. This gives a PI in-depth information on the subject and allows them to predict and analyse certain behavioural patterns.
Counter Surveillance
Particularly useful to legal cases, counter surveillance is the ability to thwart the efforts of a third party to carry out surveillance missions on you or your PI. This might include identifying and removing listening devices while ensuring your actions do not attract any attention—most private investigators are experts at spotting devices and removing them. Counter surveillance involves detecting equipment using different types of technological sweeps, including bug sweeping using bug detectors, identifying and removing live real-time tracking devices on vehicles or mobile phones, GPS sweeps, and protection from eavesdropping (e.g., phone tapping). Our surveillance services can be performed for a number of reasons, on a number of people. Some of the most common targets are high-net-worth individuals, spouses going through a divorce or who are suspected of infidelity, suspects in criminal investigations, or employers and employees believed to have committed some kind of wrongdoing. Suppose you suspect that your company, employee, family member, or spouse has placed you under surveillance. In that case, it’s a good idea to get in contact with a professional investigator who can help you determine if this is the case and present you with options.

FAQs
What is covert surveillance?
Covert surveillance is the discreet observation of individuals, locations, or other activities without the subject’s knowledge. It is used to gather evidence in cases such as fraud, employee misconduct, infidelity, or suspected crime. Our operations avoid unnecessary interference and strictly follow legal protocols to ensure that information obtained is admissible and ethically gathered.
Is covert surveillance legal in the UK?
Yes, covert surveillance is legal when conducted in compliance with UK legislation including the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) 2000, the Human Rights Act, and the Data Protection Act 2018. We also uphold the principles of the European Convention on Human Rights and adhere to the relevant code of practice for surveillance. All our procedures are designed to ensure lawfulness, necessity, and proportionality.
What types of covert surveillance do you offer?
We offer several types of surveillance depending on the circumstances:
• Directed surveillance – Focused observation of a subject or activity with a clear investigative purpose.
• Static surveillance – Monitoring from a fixed position.
• Mobile surveillance – Following a subject on foot or by vehicle.
• Technical surveillance – Using legal tools such as GPS tracking and covert cameras.
• Online surveillance – Monitoring digital behaviour to support fraud prevention and data misuse investigations.
Can covert surveillance be used in court?
Yes. If conducted lawfully, covert surveillance can result in valuable evidence such as video footage, reports, and logs. This can support legal proceedings, internal investigations, or disciplinary actions. All communications, images, and documents are handled in a manner that ensures legal admissibility and security.
Who conducts your surveillance operations?
Our team includes seasoned professionals with backgrounds in private investigation and, in some cases, former roles within law enforcement agencies. Each investigator is trained to conduct operations with discretion, attention to detail, and strict legal compliance.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that all surveillance is proportionate, necessary, and avoids any form of intrusive surveillance, which is restricted by law and requires specific authorisation by public bodies. While we do not operate as part of the intelligence services, we remain informed by professional guidance and industry standards to ensure our practices are ethical and lawful.
Do you work with public authorities or public bodies?
We do not act on behalf of public bodies, but we ensure our processes align with the standards expected by public authorities and legal entities. This ensures the quality and integrity of any evidence collected.
When is surveillance considered urgent or high priority?
We may fast-track an investigation if there is a perceived imminent threat to safety, reputation, or financial security. Though we do not replace emergency or national security services, we offer swift assistance to help resolve issues before escalation.
How long does a covert surveillance operation take?
Timing varies depending on the circumstances. Some operations may take just a few hours; others may span days or weeks. We assess every situation individually and inform the client of an estimated timeframe before surveillance begins.
Will the person under surveillance know they’re being monitored?
No. Our covert operations are conducted without alerting the subject. We maintain full discretion to ensure the subject’s behaviour remains unaffected, allowing us to capture accurate, natural conversations, movements, and interactions taking place during the surveillance period.
