What is squatter prevention?

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

In Greenwich, our squatter prevention sits within a complete vacant property security offering, so cover can scale up or down as your needs change. 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 Greenwich businesses need squatter prevention

From busy commercial districts to quieter sites on the edge of South East London, Greenwich 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 Greenwich and the neighbouring areas.

How our squatter prevention works in Greenwich

Free site assessment

Tell us what you need in Greenwich. 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, BS 7858-vetted officers are matched to your site and briefed on your exact requirements.

Managed & reported

A named contact, monitored sign-in and regular reporting keep your Greenwich cover running smoothly, with the flexibility to adjust.

SIA-licensed officers

Every officer we send to Greenwich holds a valid licence from the Security Industry Authority (SIA), the UK regulator for private security. SIA licensing is a legal requirement for security work — and we never deploy an unlicensed officer, whatever the pressure or timescale.

BS 7858 vetting & screening

Our officers are screened to BS 7858 — the British Standard for vetting security personnel. That means identity, right-to-work, employment history and character are properly checked before anyone sets foot on your Greenwich site.

Available 24/7 in Greenwich

We operate around the clock in Greenwich. Whether it's a planned contract or an urgent same-day request, there's always a real person to answer, and we can often have a licensed officer with you quickly.

Rapid & short-notice response

Emergencies don't wait, so we don't either. For short-notice cover in Greenwich — after an incident, a failed contract or a sudden threat — we move fast to get an officer on site.

Professional, presentable officers

Presentation is part of protection. Our Greenwich officers are smartly uniformed (or discreet where that's what you need), calm and professional — a visible deterrent that also reflects well on your business.

Reporting & accountability

You'll always know what's happening on your Greenwich site. Shift reports, incident logs and monitored sign-in give you a complete, insurer-ready record of the service.

The technology behind our cover

Technology multiplies what an officer can do. In Greenwich we back manned cover with monitored attendance, GPS patrol tracking and camera evidence, so nothing slips through unrecorded.

Fully insured & compliant

Full insurance is a baseline, not an extra. Our Greenwich cover is backed by public and employer's liability insurance, with documentation available whenever you need it for a tender or contract.
