What is squatter prevention?

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

BS 7858 vetting & screening
