Insurer-compliant inspections
Most vacant property policies require documented inspections at set intervals. We provide exactly that, in writing.
Vacant property security
An empty building becomes a liability the moment the last tenant leaves. Squatters, metal thieves and water damage all move faster than most owners expect. Our vacant property security keeps the building inspected, monitored and insurable.
What vacant property security involves
Squatter prevention
Regular presence and rapid response prevent occupation, which is dramatically cheaper than pursuing eviction.
Metal and fixture protection
Copper, lead and boiler theft strip value from an empty building fast. Patrols and monitoring interrupt it.
Damage and leak detection
Officers check for burst pipes, roof failure and fire risk, the losses that quietly exceed theft.
How it works
- Free site survey. A security consultant walks your premises, or reviews plans and imagery when you need cover today. No charge, no obligation.
- Written risk assessment. You get a documented assessment of your actual weak points, not a list of everything we sell.
- Fixed, itemised quote. One price, broken down, with no uplift for nights, weekends or bank holidays. What we quote is what you pay.
- Vetted officers on site. BS7858 screened, SIA licensed officers inducted on your premises, with a named account manager from day one.
Vacant Property Security questions
How often should a vacant property be inspected?
Check your policy wording. Weekly is common, and some insurers require every 48 or 72 hours. We match our schedule to your policy so cover is never invalidated.
Can you secure a property against squatters?
Yes. A combination of physical security, regular unannounced inspections and rapid response is the most reliable prevention. Once occupation happens, removal becomes a legal process.
How much does vacant property security cost?
Most empty buildings need inspections rather than a permanent guard, which keeps the cost low. We price per visit and per report, and we will tell you plainly when the risk warrants more than that.
Will security keep my empty building insurable?
Most vacant property policies require documented inspections at a set frequency. Our reports are timestamped and photographed so they satisfy the insurer, not just reassure you.
