What is squatter prevention?

Squatter prevention in Barnes Cray — proactive guarding, patrols, alarms and board-up that keep squatters out of your empty property.

As part of our wider vacant property security in Barnes Cray, this service is delivered by officers who are trained, licensed and briefed specifically to your premises. 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.

Why Barnes Cray businesses need squatter prevention

Local knowledge matters. Our officers work regularly across Barnes Cray and South East London, so they understand the area's layout, its busy periods and the kinds of incidents that occur — and that shapes how we plan your squatter prevention.

BS 7858 vetting & screening
