What is squatter prevention?

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

As part of our wider vacant property security in Cheapside, 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 Cheapside businesses need squatter prevention

From busy commercial districts to quieter sites on the edge of Central London, Cheapside needs security that fits its surroundings. We assess your premises, agree exactly what cover looks like, and put licensed officers in place who can respond quickly across Cheapside and the neighbouring areas.
