What is squatter prevention?

Squatter prevention in Folkestone — 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 Folkestone is planned around your site, your risks and your budget — never a one-size-fits-all package.

Why Folkestone businesses need squatter prevention

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