What is vacant property guards?

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

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