What is squatter prevention?

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

As part of our wider vacant property security in Harlesden, 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.

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