What is squatter prevention?

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

It combines physical measures (guarding, patrols, board-up) with electronic ones (CCTV, alarms) and regular documented inspections. Every squatter prevention assignment in Thamesmead East is planned around your site, your risks and your budget — never a one-size-fits-all package.
