Detect bugs to protect your privacy
Bugging in the UK is more common than you might think. If you suspect a bugging device has been used in your home or workplace, bug-sweeping services can give you the peace of mind you need to avoid further upset.
There are lots of reasons bugs are used. Ex-partners may want to assert control or play mind games. Journalists might want exclusive pictures or confidential information. Or maybe your commercial competitors are trying to access your business secrets.
Whatever the case, it’s not right. M19 Solutions can put a stop to unlawful bugging with a comprehensive bug sweep. Our team will check your entire property, vehicles and all devices to ensure nobody is listening, watching or tracking your activity.

Expertly Trained
With professional backgrounds in the police and military, we’re well-versed in the latest bugging practices and ready to deal with your case in a sensitive manner.
All Bugs Detected
Our team will detect any bugs in your home or workplace, on your vehicle or installed on your electronic devices. Then we’ll remove them for good.
Discreet
Much like the bugs themselves, our services are completely discreet. So, nobody needs to know that you’ve been worried about bugging devices.
How our bug sweepers can help you

How have I been bugged?
Bugging devices can be installed quickly and discreetly, even around the most eagle-eyed individuals. Above all, they aim to invade your privacy, access your information and potentially control your future. With M19 Solutions, you can stop bugging in its tracks – whatever the means and motive.
Recording devices are one of the most common bugs, given how discreetly they can be deployed. There’s no need for anything to be on show, meaning they can be hidden practically anywhere.


Hidden cameras are another threat. Someone might install a hidden camera for control, unwarranted surveillance or even their own twisted entertainment. They can also pose a security risk by showing when your property is empty.
Finally, trackers are another type of bugging device. Typically deployed on vehicles or mobile devices, they are a clear invasion of privacy that can and will be detected with the right methods.
Bug Sweeping FAQs
It’s only natural to have questions when it comes to bug sweeping. Read through our frequently asked questions to learn more about the process, costs, and what you can expect from M19 Solutions.
Bug sweeping – also known as technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) – is the process of detecting, identifying and removing surveillance devices such as hidden cameras, audio recorders and GPS trackers. At M19 Solutions, we use the latest technology and techniques to thoroughly inspect your home, workplace, vehicle or devices for any signs of bugging.
Our clients come from all walks of life. Some are concerned individuals who believe an ex-partner is spying on them. Others are business owners worried about commercial espionage. We’ve worked with legal teams, public figures, high-net-worth individuals and ordinary families alike. If you’re worried about your privacy being compromised, bug sweeping is for you.
Every case is different – and so is the cost. The price of a bug sweep depends on several factors, such as the number of locations, the size of the property and the devices we need to check. We’ll provide a clear, tailored quote after your free initial consultation, with no pressure to proceed.
The duration depends on the size and complexity of the sweep. A standard home or small office may take just a few hours, while larger commercial premises or multiple vehicles could take longer. We’ll give you an estimated timescale upfront and keep you informed throughout the process.
We can detect and remove a wide range of surveillance devices, including audio recorders, hidden cameras, GSM bugs, wireless transmitters, mobile tracking apps and vehicle GPS trackers. Whether they’re hidden in plug sockets, smoke alarms or digital devices, we’ll find them.
Absolutely. We understand that discretion is often just as important as detection. Our bug sweepers are trained to operate with complete confidentiality. We’ll arrive in unmarked vehicles, dress appropriately for the setting, and ensure nobody is made aware of our presence unless you choose to tell them.
Yes – it’s completely legal to hire a professional to check for surveillance devices in your own home, business or personal property. Everything we do is above board and compliant with UK laws. In fact, bug sweeping is often the first step in gathering evidence for a legal case.
Yes, we can. Our team is trained to detect and remove spyware or tracking software from smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers. We’ll scan for rogue apps, hidden monitoring tools and other forms of digital surveillance.
Yes. Once the sweep is complete, you’ll receive a full written report detailing everything we found – even if no devices are discovered. If any bugs are detected, we’ll document their type, location and potential purpose, along with photographic evidence wherever possible.
All of our operatives come from police or military backgrounds, bringing extensive knowledge of surveillance tactics and countermeasures. That’s backed by specialist training in the latest bug detection technologies, ensuring you’re in the safest hands possible.
To date, M19 Solutions has completed over 1,000 successful cases across the UK. We’ve helped clients from all backgrounds take back control of their privacy, uncover critical evidence, and regain peace of mind.
It’s entirely up to you. We’re happy to arrange a face-to-face meeting if you prefer, but many of our clients choose to speak via phone, video call or email – especially when privacy is a concern. We’ll tailor our communication to suit your needs and keep everything strictly confidential from start to finish. If we do proceed with the bug sweep, a meeting will be required – either with you directly or with a trusted intermediary acting on your behalf.
