Empty Property Security

Professional On-Site Security Across Nationwide

There’s something unsettling about an empty property. A building that once had life now stands still — no footsteps, no lights, no movement… but plenty of eyes watching from the outside.

A window left slightly ajar.
A gate not fully locked.
A dark corner where anyone could slip in unnoticed.

Vacant buildings attract the wrong kind of attention fast — trespassers, vandals, metal thieves, squatters, opportunists.
And problems that start small can become expensive disasters overnight.

That’s why professional empty property security exists.

At 2015 Security Services Ltd, our SIA-licensed officers step in when your property cannot protect itself.
Whether it’s a vacant home, a closed shop, a renovation project or a long-term empty building — we ensure nothing goes wrong behind closed doors.

Your property may be empty.
But with us, it’s never vulnerable.

Our services include:
  • Scheduled & random mobile patrols
    Visible deterrence that keeps trespassers, squatters and vandals away.

  • Full internal & external inspections
    Checking doors, windows, gates, fences, and vulnerable entry points.

  • Water, fire & hazard checks
    Identifying leaks, electrical faults, fire risks, damp or structural issues.

WHY EMPTY PROPERTY SECURITY IS ESSENTIAL

Vacant buildings face risks that occupied buildings never do:

✔ Trespassing & squatting

Squatters often enter silently and refuse to leave.

✔ Criminal damage

Smashed windows, graffiti, and vandalism happen fast.

✔ Theft of metal & fixtures

Copper, boilers, wiring, lead, catalytic converters — all targeted.

✔ Fires

Vacant properties are high-risk for arson or accidental fires.

✔ Leaks & flooding

A burst pipe in an empty building can cause thousands in damage.

✔ Illegal gatherings

Youth groups, rough sleepers, drug activity — and no one notices until it’s too late.

✔ Insurance complications

Insurers often deny claims if proactive security isn’t in place.

An empty building is an easy target — unless trained professionals check it before trouble has a chance to begin.

Don’t wait for a small issue to turn into a serious repair bill.
