Vacant Property Security · UK-wideStop squatters before they get in. IGI Security Services delivers squatter prevention across the UK with SIA-licensed officers, 24/7.
Squatter prevention in your area — proactive guarding, patrols, alarms and board-up that keep squatters out of your empty property.
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.
Landlords, developers, managing agents, councils, receivers and executors use vacant property security to prevent squatting and damage, satisfy insurers, and keep a building ready for its next use.
We assess the property's risk, agree the right mix of guarding, patrols, alarms, CCTV and board-up, and carry out documented inspections. Everything is reported so you and your insurer have a clear record.
Officers are SIA-licensed and BS 7858 vetted; measures are chosen to meet common insurer conditions for unoccupied property, with documented inspection records provided.
Every officer holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to BS 7858 — the recognised standard for security staff.
Round-the-clock cover in the UK, with officers mobilised quickly when it matters most.
Comprehensive liability insurance and documented procedures for total peace of mind.
Officers who know the UK and can respond effectively across the surrounding area.
A named account manager who knows your site — not a faceless call centre.
