 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of the services of Verity Henton Private Investigations recently and cannot thank them enough for impeccable,and thorough assistance.From the initial enquiry with Verity,who showed me kindness,and empathy on the telephone, and then dealing with Sam,who has been absolutely wonderful, I have received a very professional experience/service.

I contacted Verity Henton Private Investigations in December 2024 with a sensitive matter. I was listened to with the utmost respect,and following the call, knew that they were a team I could trust.Considering I had minimal information to go on,they worked hard for over five weeks to ensure I received a positive outcome (which I have).At all times they provided me with updates,I never once felt that I was being treated any less than a client who may have had much more information to provide.

The team went above,and beyond to assist me,and are currently assissting me further,having obtained everything I required initially.Furthermore,every time I telephoned them,they were always ready to listen,and took the time to speak with me.In the event I was unable to reach them,they always returned calls,and attended to messages promptly.Sam even took the time to offer me advice on several occasions,even though at times she was busy,however,nothing was ever too much for them.Ultimately,they have always done,and do exactly what they say they will! Emma,thankyou for your lovely manners in the times we spoke.

I have used private investigation companies in the past,however,none have provided me with the time,empathy,advice,and professionalism I have received with Verity Henton. As of now,I will only use this company. Furthermore,I will only recommend this company to others.

Thankyou to all of you.

I recommended the services to my friend who wants to remain anonymous but asked if i would post a review as follows " from the moment I rang Verity Henton I was put at ease by the calming nature and professional approach of the lady I spoke with, from that moment on I felt comfortable with the services that I required to achieve my objective. As a qualified professional myself I have to say that Verity Henton are as good as you will get. They are also lovely people to deal with.

ABOUT VERITY HENTON

Investigative expertise
you can trust

Founded by experienced former police detectives, Verity Henton Private Investigations brings the rigour and professionalism of law enforcement to the private sector. We understand that the matters clients bring to us are often among the most sensitive they will face – personally or professionally.

Our approach is built on three principles: absolute discretion, methodical investigation, and clear, objective reporting. Every case is handled with care, and every conclusion is supported by verified, lawfully obtained evidence – never speculation.

Discretion

All communications and investigative activity are conducted with complete confidentiality. Your privacy is our highest priority.

Methodology

We apply established, lawful investigative techniques drawn from professional policing practice to build a clear evidential picture.

Evidence

All findings are documented in a structured evidence report, compiled to the highest standards and legally admissible where required.

Integrity

We will always be direct about the feasibility of a case. If the evidence does not support a conclusion, we will tell you clearly.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Your questions,
answered

If you would prefer to speak with us directly, call any time on 020 3916 5917.

Is everything I tell you kept confidential?

Yes, completely. All client communications are treated with strict confidentiality from the very first contact. We will never share your personal details or case information with any third party, and we can discuss preferred communication channels at the outset to suit your circumstances.

Are your investigations carried out legally?

Absolutely. All investigative activity is conducted in strict accordance with UK law, including the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act and the Data Protection Act. We never use unlawful methods, and our evidence is gathered in a way that is legally admissible in court if required.

How much does a private investigation cost?

Costs vary depending on the nature and complexity of the case. We provide a transparent, fixed-fee quotation following the initial consultation — there are no hidden costs. Our consultation itself is completely free and carries no obligation.

Is the evidence you produce admissible in court?

Yes. All evidence reports are compiled to a standard suitable for use in legal proceedings, including family court matters, civil litigation and employment tribunals. We can advise on this during the consultation if legal use is a consideration.

Do you operate throughout the UK?

Yes. We operate on a nationwide basis across England, Wales and Scotland. We are based in London but regularly undertake investigations throughout the UK. International enquiries can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

How quickly can an investigation begin?

Following a consultation and case assessment, we are typically able to commence at short notice. If your circumstances are time-sensitive, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements as a priority.

I'm not sure if I need an investigation - can you advise?

Yes, and this is exactly what our free consultation is for. We will listen to your situation, give you an honest assessment of what an investigation could realistically establish, and advise on whether it is the right course of action — with no obligation to proceed if you decide it is not.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

Speak with our team,
in complete confidence
