Vacant property keyholding in Shortlands — we hold the keys to your empty building and attend alarms and access so you don't have to.
In Shortlands, our vacant property keyholding 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.
Shortlands has its own security picture — the mix of premises, footfall and risk across South East London isn't the same as anywhere else. We deploy officers who understand the area and tailor vacant property keyholding to what your Shortlands site actually needs, rather than a generic template.
Our Shortlands clients range from independent businesses to national organisations. Landlords, developers, managing agents, councils, receivers and executors use vacant property security to prevent squatting and damage, satisfy insurers, and keep a building ready for its next use.
Tell us what you need in Shortlands. We assess the premises, risks and hours to agree the right cover — with no obligation.
You get a clear, no-surprises quote and assignment instructions in writing before anything starts.
SIA-licensed, BS 7858-vetted officers are matched to your site and briefed on your exact requirements.
A named contact, monitored sign-in and regular reporting keep your Shortlands cover running smoothly, with the flexibility to adjust.
You should never accept an unlicensed guard. Every member of our Shortlands teams is licensed by the Security Industry Authority for the work they do, so your cover is lawful and your insurer is satisfied.
The people protecting your Shortlands premises are thoroughly vetted to BS 7858, so you can be confident in who's on site — not just that they hold a licence, but that they've been properly background-checked.
Security doesn't keep office hours, and neither do we. Cover in Shortlands is available day and night, all year round, with someone real answering every call and message.
Our Shortlands response is built for urgency: a real person answers, we confirm what we can deploy and how quickly, and we get officers moving without the usual delays.
Whether uniformed and highly visible or low-key and discreet, our Shortlands officers look and act the part — because how security carries itself changes how people behave around it.
You'll always know what's happening on your Shortlands site. Shift reports, incident logs and monitored sign-in give you a complete, insurer-ready record of the service.
Our Shortlands teams use the right tools for the job: real-time sign-in and check-calls, GPS patrol logging, body-worn video where appropriate, and integration with any CCTV or alarms you already have.
We carry comprehensive public and employer's liability insurance, so your Shortlands business is protected. Certificates are available on request, and our procedures are documented for audit.
A typical Shortlands assignment might start with a call on WhatsApp, a same-day site visit, and a licensed officer on shift within days — sometimes hours for urgent work. From there, cover settles into an agreed rota with regular reporting, adjusted whenever your needs change.
We keep pricing straightforward. Your Shortlands quote reflects the actual hours, officer numbers and requirements of the job — nothing hidden. Message us and we'll price it properly, usually the same day.
Every officer holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to BS 7858 — the recognised standard for security staff.

We'd rather keep a client than win one. Our Shortlands work is built on turning up, doing the job properly, and being straight with you — if we can't do something well, we'll say so.
Not sure whether vacant property keyholding is the right choice for your Shortlands site? We'll tell you honestly. Sometimes a mobile patrol or monitored CCTV does the job at lower cost than a static officer — and sometimes only a full-time presence will do. We recommend what actually fits, not what's most expensive.
A good security team reduces risk without creating new ones. Our Shortlands officers are trained in de-escalation and safe, lawful conduct, so incidents are handled calmly and your liability is protected.
