Nationwide Vacant Property Protection Services
dvance Guarding provides specialist vacant property security services nationwide, with experienced officers and property inspectors understanding the unique vulnerabilities of unoccupied buildings. Our team works extensively with property managers, landlords, developers, and local authorities to protect empty properties across all sectors.
Empty properties face multiple threats requiring professional protection. Squatters can legally occupy vacant commercial properties (residential squatting is prohibited, but commercial buildings remain vulnerable). Vandals target unoccupied buildings for criminal damage and graffiti. Thieves strip valuable fixtures, copper piping, boilers, and architectural features. Arsonists view empty properties as convenient targets. Water leaks, roof damage, and structural deterioration accelerate without regular monitoring.
Our Security Guarding Services
Squatter Prevention & Response
Comprehensive protection against illegal occupation of vacant commercial properties. Whilst residential squatting is prohibited, commercial buildings remain legally vulnerable to squatters who can be extremely difficult and expensive to remove. Our regular security patrols, property inspections, and rapid response services detect early warning signs of attempted occupation, preventing squatters establishing presence before legal protections apply.
Insurance-Compliant Inspections
Regular documented property inspections satisfying insurance underwriter requirements for vacant buildings. Our mobile inspectors conduct scheduled visits checking building condition, monitoring for water leaks, recording utility meter readings, identifying structural issues, and photographing property status. Comprehensive reports provide the evidence insurers require, protecting your right to claim whilst identifying maintenance issues before they escalate.
Physical Security Measures
Professional boarding up services, secure perimeter establishment, and physical deterrents preventing unauthorised access. We install steel security screens, boarding to doors and windows, anti-climb measures, and warning signage meeting insurance requirements. Our physical security solutions protect vulnerable access points whilst maintaining property appearance and meeting planning regulations for listed buildings and conservation areas.
Electronic Monitoring Systems
Battery-powered CCTV systems with remote monitoring and alarm response for vacant properties without mains power. Our wireless surveillance solutions provide continuous monitoring even in decommissioned buildings, with immediate alerts to attempted intrusions, fires, or suspicious activity. Monitored systems deliver rapid response whilst providing recorded evidence for insurance claims and prosecutions.
“We manage a portfolio of 23 commercial properties across the South East, several vacant awaiting redevelopment. Advance Guarding’s inspection service has been invaluable—they identified a serious water leak that could have caused catastrophic damage, prevented two attempted squatter occupations, and their documented reports satisfy our insurers completely. Their service has literally saved us hundreds of thousands in potential damage costs.”

Advance Guarding provides comprehensive vacant property security for all building types including hotels, care homes, residential properties, commercial premises, factories, warehouses, and listed buildings. Our experienced void property team handles all challenges associated with empty buildings, from routine monitoring through to emergency squatter eviction and property remediation.
Regular security patrols form the foundation of effective vacant property protection. Our mobile officers conduct scheduled visits checking perimeter security, identifying attempted break-ins, monitoring for squatter activity, and inspecting building condition. These patrols provide visible deterrence whilst enabling early detection of problems before they escalate into expensive disasters.
Property inspections extend beyond security checks to include essential building monitoring. Our inspectors photograph property condition, record utility meter readings, check for water leaks from burst pipes or roof damage, identify structural issues, and document their findings in comprehensive reports. This regular oversight satisfies insurance requirements whilst enabling proactive maintenance that prevents deterioration.
