About The Sentry
The Sentry is the UK's dedicated lone worker safety platform for the property sector. Founded in 2019, it was built to solve a specific and persistent problem: estate agents, lettings negotiators, and property professionals routinely meet strangers alone in empty properties with no reliable means of raising an alarm or evidencing what happened.
The platform combines a smartphone app with a cloud-based admin dashboard. Workers check in before a lone viewing, set a timer, and can raise a one-touch panic alarm with automatic video capture if something goes wrong. Employers monitor their teams in real time and receive instant alerts.
The Sentry also provides a private, whistleblowing-compliant incident reporting channel and a full compliance audit trail — helping agencies satisfy the Worker Protection Act 2023 and the Employment Rights Act 2025 without complex IT procurement.
Unlike enterprise safety platforms that require hardware, lengthy onboarding, or year-long contracts, The Sentry deploys in under one hour and costs £39.50 per user per year — making it accessible to independent agencies as well as national chains.
