What is squatter prevention?

Squatter prevention in Canary Wharf — 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. Every squatter prevention assignment in Canary Wharf is planned around your site, your risks and your budget — never a one-size-fits-all package.

Why Canary Wharf businesses need squatter prevention

Local knowledge matters. Our officers work regularly across Canary Wharf and 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.

Free site assessment

Tell us what you need in Canary Wharf. We assess the premises, risks and hours to agree the right cover — with no obligation.

Written proposal & quote

You get a clear, no-surprises quote and assignment instructions in writing before anything starts.

Vetted officers deployed

SIA-licensed officers

SIA licensing isn't optional, and we treat it that way. Each officer working on your Canary Wharf assignment carries a current, correct SIA licence for the role, and we can evidence it on request.

BS 7858 vetting & screening

Trust starts with vetting. Before an officer works in Canary Wharf, we screen them to BS 7858: confirming who they are, their right to work, and a verified employment and character history.

Available 24/7 in Canary Wharf

Security doesn't keep office hours, and neither do we. Cover in Canary Wharf is available day and night, all year round, with someone real answering every call and message.

Rapid & short-notice response

Our Canary Wharf response is built for urgency: a real person answers, we confirm what we can deploy and how quickly, and we get officers moving without the usual delays.

Professional, presentable officers

Whether uniformed and highly visible or low-key and discreet, our Canary Wharf officers look and act the part — because how security carries itself changes how people behave around it.

The technology behind our cover

Our Canary Wharf teams use the right tools for the job: real-time sign-in and check-calls, GPS patrol logging, body-worn video where appropriate, and integration with any CCTV or alarms you already have.
