Guards, patrols, and monitoring for empty commercial and residential properties. Prevent squatters, vandalism, and theft before they become your problem.
An unoccupied property is an open invitation. Squatters can establish legal rights within hours. Copper thieves strip a building in a single night. Vandals cause damage that costs tens of thousands to repair. And arson in a vacant building puts neighbouring properties and lives at risk.
Property owners, councils, and developers have a legal obligation to secure empty buildings. Under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1984, you owe a duty of care even to trespassers. If someone is injured on your vacant property, you can be held liable.
Securing a vacant property is not optional. It is a legal requirement and a financial safeguard. The cost of security is always less than the cost of the damage it prevents.
We secure vacant properties for organisations that cannot afford to leave buildings unprotected.
Empty council buildings, former schools, decommissioned facilities. We provide regular patrols and static guarding to prevent unauthorised occupation and antisocial behaviour.
Properties awaiting planning approval or between phases of development. We protect the site and the materials on it until work resumes.
Void properties between tenancies, blocks awaiting refurbishment, and estates undergoing regeneration. Consistent security presence that deters and reports.
Every vacant property faces the same threats. Here is what our officers are trained to prevent.
Once squatters are in a commercial property, removal becomes a legal process that can take weeks. Prevention is the only practical strategy.
Empty buildings attract antisocial behaviour. Regular patrols and visible security presence deter opportunistic damage before it happens.
Wiring, piping, roofing materials, boilers — anything with scrap value gets stripped from unguarded properties. One night of theft can cost more than a year of security.
Officers on patrol spot broken windows, damaged roofing, and water ingress early — before minor issues become structural problems.
You have a duty of care under the Occupiers' Liability Act. If a trespasser is injured on your unsecured property, the liability falls on you.
A vandalised, stripped, or squatted property loses value rapidly. Maintaining security maintains your asset value through the void period.
A layered approach tailored to the property type, risk level, and your budget.
SIA-licensed officers stationed on-site for high-risk properties or during critical periods. 24/7 or scheduled shifts to match your threat profile.
Regular marked vehicle patrols with internal and external inspections. Randomised schedules so patterns cannot be predicted.
Temporary or permanent camera systems monitored 24/7 through our accredited partner centres. Ideal for large sites or multi-building estates.
We hold the keys and respond to any alarm activation around the clock. Full incident reports after every call-out.
We'll visit your site, assess your risks, and provide a tailored security plan with transparent pricing. No obligation.
