We offer comprehensive support, ranging from impenetrable security screens and doors to advanced CCTV, alarm surveillance, physical barriers, and safeguards to keep your vacant property safe and under continual monitoring.

London’s crime rate of 82 incidents per 1,000 people is high, and the 138% increase in vacant residential homes over the last decade, now estimated at over 160,000 properties, plus many more commercial premises, has made vacant property security a key priority.

Vacant buildings across the city are exposed to security threats, from opportunistic theft, vandalism and squatting to fly-tipping, criminal damage and unauthorised occupation. Whether you’re responsible for an empty office, retail unit, residential property or development site, professional security helps reduce risks and liabilities and maintain compliance with insurance requirements.

Clearway Vacant Property Services

Vacant Property Doors and Screens

Empty buildings often attract criminals, especially if there are vulnerable access points like windows and doors, and no visible security in place. Steel security doors and screens provide a physical barrier to prevent forced entry and deter crimes such as vandalism, theft, and squatting.

These robust screens can be fitted for any period, whether your property will be empty for a few weeks during refurbishment works or is anticipated to be vacant for several months pending a sale or a new tenant.

Vacant Property Security

Concrete barrier in use

Concrete Barriers for Vacant Properties

Vacant land, car parks and empty commercial sites are often vulnerable to unauthorised access, fly-tipping and illegal occupation. Interlocking concrete blocks act as a physical barrier which cannot be moved without specialist equipment.

Used alongside Heras fencing, telescopic bollards and other perimeter protection measures, concrete barriers provide flexible security for vacant sites across London and can be repositioned whenever site layouts or access requirements change.

Concrete Barriers Hire

temporary cctv

Temporary CCTV Towers

Wide-range CCTV towers are highly visible and provide surveillance of vacant land, outdoor spaces and large compounds with real-time monitoring available. These units are often used within industrial parks, sites being redeveloped and vacant commercial buildings.

Towers can be deployed rapidly, and are powered by solar panels or commercial-grade batteries. This ensures they don’t rely on mains electricity and can offer fast, extensive coverage of empty sites of all sizes.

Temporary CCTV Hire

Wireless Detection Systems

Temporary Wireless Intruder Alarms

Wireless alarms are ideal for empty properties without mains power. They can be installed almost anywhere, with long-life battery packs which ensure vacant units and homes are immediately protected with 24/7/365 monitoring.

If anything suspicious is detected, intruder alarms can send an alert directly to our experienced ARC team, with trained operators who will investigate the cause and determine the appropriate response based on the protocols agreed in advance with the site owner.

Wireless Intruder Alarms

manned guarding services

Manned Guarding in London

Uniformed security officers provide an unmissable presence, ensuring vacant units are protected against trespassing, vandalism, or theft. All Clearway’s guards are SIA-licensed, and are trained to protect a wide range of premises, including vacant offices, shops, industrial units and residential developments.

Guarding services are tailored to the site and the risks in question, with options including mobile patrols, overnight guarding, access controls, and perimeter security duties, ensuring that vulnerable access points are properly supervised.

London Manned Guarding

K9 Security officer with dog

Security and K9 Patrols in London

Dog units give businesses and organisations a way to guard against more pronounced threats. K9 and human guarding teams are often used to protect larger vacant sites or buildings, or premises where a break-in or criminal damage would have serious impacts.

The visible presence of K9 patrols is itself a deterrent, while trained dogs can detect potential intrusion attempts and disturbances incredibly quickly, often enabling guards to de-escalate or prevent incidents.

Security and K9 Patrols

security mobile patrols

Mobile Patrols for Vacant Properties

Roving patrols are an efficient way to improve security around vacant properties, with patrols following randomised schedules that make it impossible for prospective intruders to predict when guards will be on site or when their next visit will occur.

This is a cost-effective alternative to permanent on-site guarding, with regular visits during which security officers will look for signs of disturbances, confirm the site is quiet and free of criminal activity, and advise on any emerging threats that require attention.

Mobile Patrol Security

Clearway vacant Property Inspection service

London Vacant Property Inspections

Regular inspections ensure that empty properties unlikely to be occupied or sold in the near future aren’t left to deteriorate. This ensures owners remain compliant with the terms of their insurance, and know when maintenance issues or security concerns arise.

Inspections include security checks inside and out, meter readings, and detailed logs with photographic evidence, ensuring owners or managers are up to speed on the condition of their property and have the assurance that everything remains in good order.

Vacant Property Inspections

Open and lock up services

Open and Lock-Up Services

During vacant periods, various people, including owners, estate agents, surveyors, and contractors, might require access to empty premises. Professional open and lock-up services ensure this is possible, while keeping the property secure.

Guards can attend at pre-agreed times or schedules, check that doors, windows, alarm systems and entry points are secure and verify the credentials of anyone requesting permission to enter, logging those activities as they go.

Open and Lock-Up Services

Clearway Perimeter Protection

Vacant Property Perimeter Protection

The perimeters of vacant properties are often the first line of defence because identifying an intruder before they reach buildings, materials, or stored items is the best way to prevent criminal activity.

Wireless, autonomous detection systems are flexible and can be repositioned as and when required, sending immediate notifications to our ARC when movement is detected, enabling it to be investigated and responded to.

Perimeter Protection Systems

what is keyholding services?

Keyholding Services in London

Keyholding can carry high risks for staff or owners attending callouts to empty London premises, potentially arriving to find a live intrusion event or a theft underway. Qualified guards provide keyholding across the city and can attend alarm activations day or night.

In many cases, we can verify the cause beforehand using video-verified alarms and CCTV, using this information to stand down a false alarm, dispatch guards to de-escalate or prevent crimes, or liaise with the emergency services.
