Vacant property security
Keep empty buildings safe from squatters, theft, vandalism and fly-tipping, with guards, patrols and regular inspections.
Empty doesn't have to mean vulnerable
Empty buildings attract squatters, metal thieves, vandals and fly-tippers. Insurers often need regular inspections to keep cover in place.
We provide static guards for high-risk properties and regular patrols and inspections for others, with reports you can share with your insurer.

Who we work with
Vacant property security FAQs
Can't see your question? Ask us directly and we'll answer it straight away.
Ask a questionHow often should a vacant property be inspected?
Many insurers ask for weekly inspections, but check your policy. We can match the schedule to what your insurer requires.
Can you deal with squatters already on site?
Removing people from a property is a legal process. We can secure and protect the property once it is clear, and work with your solicitors and enforcement agents.
Can you meet contractors and agents on site?
Yes, with our key holding service.
You might also need
Mobile patrols
Marked patrol visits at irregular times, day or night: a cost-effective deterrent when a full-time guard isn't needed.
Key holding & alarm response
We hold your keys securely and attend your premises when the alarm activates, so you don't have to get out of bed at 3am.
Construction site security
Protect plant, tools and materials and keep unauthorised people off site, with gatehouse officers, night guards and patrols.
