What is squatter prevention?

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

In Thamesmead South, 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.

BS 7858 vetting & screening

Professional, presentable officers

Whether uniformed and highly visible or low-key and discreet, our Thamesmead South officers look and act the part — because how security carries itself changes how people behave around it.
