Vacant Property Security Andover

Looking for a reliable vacant proeprty security company in Andover? Our Andover team provides comprehensive empty property security services, working with landowners, agricultural businesses, developers, homeowners and landlords who need to protect vacant properties from unauthorised access, theft, vandalism and deterioration during periods of non-occupation.

Andover may not be considered a crime hotspot, but with 64 crimes per 1,000 people, this remains 2% higher than the Hampshire average and makes the town the worst affected by issues such as antisocial behaviour.

Empty buildings of every kind are exposed to issues like theft, vandalism, squatting and arson, particularly if they are expected to be unoccupied for a long time. This is where targeted, professional, coordinated security can make all the difference.

Vacant Property Doors and Screens

Vacant buildings are often considered easy targets, making physical security one of the most effective crime prevention methods. Professionally installed steel security doors and window screens create a robust barrier that withstands forced-entry attempts while protecting against vandalism, theft, and squatting.

Whether you have a property that’s due to be empty for a few weeks or several months, security doors ensure the building is protected, while still allowing authorised visitors and workers to access your premises.

Concrete barrier in use

Concrete Barriers for Vacant Properties

Empty lots, compounds, unused land, and vacant sites are often exposed to fly-tipping, vehicular trespass, and unauthorised entry, which can lead to vandalism, criminal damage, and squatting. Concrete blocks provide an effective deterrent and prevent any vehicle from accessing a site.

While our engineers can reposition blocks on-demand using specialist equipment, they are otherwise immovable. Concrete barriers are commonly used alongside Heras fencing, telescopic bollards, and other perimeter security measures to protect car parks, empty land, and spaces around vacant properties to mitigate the risk of criminal activity.

temporary cctv

Temporary CCTV Towers

Temporary CCTV provides continuous surveillance for vacant properties without requiring permanent infrastructure. Highly visible cameras also act as an effective deterrent, discouraging trespassing, vandalism and theft before incidents occur.

Our rapidly deployable CCTV towers provide extensive coverage using high-definition cameras mounted on telescopic masts. Available with either solar or mains power, they offer reliable monitoring for properties of all sizes while capturing footage whenever suspicious activity is detected.

Wireless Detection Systems

Temporary Wireless Intruder Alarms

Wireless intruder alarms provide fast protection for vacant premises where traditional alarm systems may not be practical. Battery-powered devices can be installed quickly without permanent wiring, making them ideal for empty buildings pending sale, redevelopment or refurbishment.

If movement is detected, alerts are immediately transmitted to our NSI Gold Cat II Alarm Receiving Centre, where trained operators verify the cause before coordinating the appropriate response. This reduces unnecessary callouts while ensuring genuine incidents receive immediate attention.

manned guarding services

Manned Guarding

Visible security personnel remain one of the strongest deterrents against trespassing, vandalism and theft. Our SIA-licensed security officers can provide short or long-term protection for vacant commercial premises, industrial sites, offices and other unoccupied properties throughout Andover.

Services include access control, static guarding, reception security, regular patrols and out-of-hours protection, with every deployment tailored to the risks associated with your property.

K9 Security officer with dog

Security and K9 Patrols in Andover

Security dog units comprise experienced handlers with dogs who can deliver enhanced protection for vacant sites and buildings. Their visible presence acts as a powerful deterrent while the heightened senses of canine patrols allow threats to be identified quickly.

K9 patrols are particularly effective for larger premises, isolated sites and properties with extensive external areas, either as a standalone service or alongside manned guarding.

security mobile patrols

Mobile Patrols for Vacant Properties

Mobile security patrols provide a cost-effective alternative to permanent on-site guarding while maintaining a regular security presence around your property. Patrol schedules avoid predictable routines, helping discourage opportunistic criminal activity.

During each visit, security officers inspect the property, identify any signs of attempted intrusion or damage and produce detailed reports, allowing risks to be addressed before they become more serious.

Clearway vacant Property Inspection service

Vacant Property Inspections

Routine inspections help ensure vacant properties remain secure while identifying maintenance issues before they lead to expensive repairs or insurance complications. Regular reports also demonstrate that precautions are being taken while a building is unoccupied, which may be required for insurance purposes.

Each inspection can include external security checks, internal inspections, meter readings, creating photographic logs and detailed reporting, giving property owners a complete overview of the condition of their premises.

Open and lock up services

Open and Lock-Up Services

Managing access to vacant buildings can become difficult when multiple contractors, surveyors or maintenance teams require entry. Our professional open and lock-up service ensures properties remain secure while allowing authorised access whenever needed.

Every visit includes thorough security checks to confirm that doors, windows, and alarm systems have been secured, ensuring the building is properly protected, and logging any potential indications of intrusion attempts so these can be swiftly addressed.

Clearway Perimeter Protection

Vacant Property Perimeter Protection

Our perimeter detection systems can identify attempted intrusions before criminals reach a building or entrance, with wireless technology that is ideal for temporary and changing environments.

When the system detects a possible intrusion, AI-verified images are circulated to our ARC where operators can quickly assess the situation, confirm whether it requires an emergency response, and reduce false alarms without compromising on-site security.

what is keyholding services?

Keyholding Services

Responding to out-of-hours alarms can be costly and disruptive, but might also put untrained staff and keyholders at risk if they are unknowingly attending a live incident. Professional keyholding removes this threat, with trained guards who can attend alarm callouts day or night.

Activations can be verified to confirm whether the alarm is false or genuine. Combining keyholding with video-verified alarms or CCTV may further reduce risks, enabling responders to assess the situation and confirm whether a live attendance is necessary, or de-escalate the incident.
