What is vacant property guards?

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

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

Why Kent businesses need vacant property guards

Local knowledge matters. Our officers work regularly across Kent and South West, so they understand the area's layout, its busy periods and the kinds of incidents that occur — and that shapes how we plan your vacant property guards.
