What is vacant property guards?

Vacant property guards in Downgate — SIA-licensed officers stationed at empty buildings to stop squatters, theft and vandalism before they start.

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 vacant property guards assignment in Downgate is planned around your site, your risks and your budget — never a one-size-fits-all package.
