Private Investigator Services in the UK

Private investigator services in the UK are used where clarity is required around behaviour, activity, or circumstances that cannot be resolved through conventional means. These services support individuals, businesses, insurers, and legal professionals who need accurate, discreet information before taking personal, legal, or strategic action.

At Dion International, private investigations are conducted with discretion, proportionality, and purpose. The objective is not intrusion or assumption, but to establish verifiable facts, reduce uncertainty, and allow informed decisions to be made with confidence.

Our investigators operate across Scotland and the wider UK, with regular instructions undertaken in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Inverness, and London, where matters require a broader geographic footprint or multi-jurisdictional coordination.

When a Private Investigator Is Required

Private investigations may be appropriate in a wide range of personal, corporate, and legal scenarios. Common instructions include suspected infidelity, employee misconduct, fraud, asset and debtor tracing, background enquiries, and matters connected to litigation, regulatory review, or insurance claims.

In some cases, concerns relate to ongoing behaviour and require discreet observation through covert surveillance. In others, clarity is needed around historical or current associations, identity, or location, making structured tracing services appropriate. Where claims or allegations involve injury or incapacity, personal injury surveillance may be required to establish an accurate picture of activity and consistency.

Whether the issue arises from a private matter in Edinburgh, a commercial concern in Glasgow, a corporate instruction in Aberdeen, or a legal case linked to London, a structured investigation allows facts to be established objectively and proportionately.

How Private Investigations Are Conducted

Each instruction begins with an assessment to determine objectives, scope, and proportionality. This ensures investigative activity is appropriate, lawful, and focused on outcomes that matter to the client, regardless of location.

Investigations may involve covert surveillance, intelligence gathering, background enquiries, and tracing activity, depending on the nature of the instruction. Where concerns relate to information security, unexplained knowledge, or confidential discussions, activity may also extend to technical counter-measures, including the identification of unauthorised monitoring or recording devices through professional bug sweep procedures.

Operations are carefully managed to avoid unnecessary exposure or disruption, whether conducted in dense urban environments such as London and Glasgow, or in more rural or remote areas including Inverness and the surrounding Highlands.

All findings are documented clearly and objectively. Reporting is prepared to a professional standard, ensuring material can support personal decision-making, commercial action, or use within legal and insurance processes.
