What is vacant property keyholding?

Vacant property keyholding in Reading — we hold the keys to your empty building and attend alarms and access so you don't have to.

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 keyholding assignment in Reading is planned around your site, your risks and your budget — never a one-size-fits-all package.

Why Reading businesses need vacant property keyholding

Reading has its own security picture — the mix of premises, footfall and risk across South East isn't the same as anywhere else. We deploy officers who understand the area and tailor vacant property keyholding to what your Reading site actually needs, rather than a generic template.
