FAQs
Securing a vacant property is essential to protect it against break-ins, theft, vandalism, criminal activity, and unauthorised access. Empty buildings can become easy targets when doors, windows, and other access points are left vulnerable. Appropriate security measures help protect the building, reduce potential damage, and provide peace of mind while the property remains unoccupied.
We provide a range of vacant property security solutions, including boarding up, emergency boarding, window protection, door securing, residential property securing, and commercial property protection. We also offer temporary security solutions and property security inspections to help identify vulnerable areas and maintain better protection for unoccupied buildings.
You should consider boarding up when a property has broken windows, damaged doors, exposed entrances, or other vulnerable openings. It is also useful when a building is being prepared for an extended period of vacancy, renovation, or redevelopment. Arranging suitable protection before problems occur can help reduce the risk of unauthorised access and further damage.
Yes, emergency boarding up can help secure properties following break-ins, vandalism, accidents, and unexpected damage. Broken windows and damaged doors can leave buildings exposed to further security risks. Temporary boarding provides an additional physical barrier while permanent repairs or replacements are arranged.
Yes, our property security solutions are suitable for different types of residential and commercial buildings. We work with homeowners, landlords, estate agents, and commercial property owners to help protect empty houses, flats, offices, retail units, warehouses, and other unoccupied premises.
We help reduce security risks by identifying vulnerable areas and arranging suitable protective measures. These may include boarding up broken windows, securing damaged doors, protecting exposed entrances, and recommending additional temporary security solutions. Taking preventative action can help discourage unwanted access and reduce the likelihood of further property damage.
Yes, temporary security measures can help protect buildings during renovation, refurbishment, and repair work. Construction activities may leave windows, doors, and other areas exposed, creating opportunities for unauthorised access. Suitable temporary protection helps maintain security until permanent repairs and improvements are completed.
Yes, property security inspections can help identify visible weaknesses around doors, windows, entrances, and other accessible areas. These inspections help property owners understand which areas may require additional protection. Identifying potential security concerns early can make it easier to arrange suitable preventative measures for an unoccupied building.
The duration depends on the property's condition, the type of boarding installed, and the reason for securing the building. Boarding may be used for a short period while emergency repairs are arranged or for longer periods while a property remains vacant. It is important to check the condition of temporary protection regularly and arrange permanent repairs when appropriate.
