What is property board up?

Property board up in Shortlands — fast boarding of doors, windows and openings to secure damaged or empty buildings against entry.

Vacant property security protects buildings that are empty between tenants, sales, development or probate. It combines physical measures (guarding, patrols, board-up) with electronic ones (CCTV, alarms) and regular documented inspections. Every property board up assignment in Shortlands is planned around your site, your risks and your budget — never a one-size-fits-all package.

Why Shortlands businesses need property board up

Shortlands has its own security picture — the mix of premises, footfall and risk across South East London isn't the same as anywhere else. We deploy officers who understand the area and tailor property board up to what your Shortlands site actually needs, rather than a generic template.

What our property board up in Shortlands includes

  • Rapid board-up
  • Doors and windows
  • Fire and flood damage
  • Steel-screen option
  • 24/7 emergency

Who we protect in Shortlands
