Protecting people – this is at the core of what we do. We believe that your people are your biggest assets. Our people protection services are designed to help you mitigate the safety risks and security threats faced by your people on a daily basis.
People
We understand the importance of protecting your property from security threats such as vandalism, squatters, break-ins and theft – but our services extend far beyond this.
Property
We recognise there is a fundamental need to secure your business critical assets, from vacant land, development sites and compounds, to plant, materials and fuel. As a leading provider of sustainable security, we are perfectly positioned to secure, monitor and protect your valuable assets.
AssetsDo you know if your empty property has potential security or maintenance vulnerabilities? Clearway’s vacant property inspections arm you with advance notice of any problems before they are able to cause significant issues, and give you the assurance that your asset remains fully insurance compliant.
Continuous on site security is not required for every site or premise. When a tenancy ends and a property is left empty, our regular vacant property inspections provide advanced warning of any vulnerabilities before significant issues arise.
A comprehensive vacant/void property inspection report from Clearway will provide you, as the property owner/manager, with detailed information in order to maintain compliance with relevant insurance requirements.
Whether you are a property owner, a landlord who is between tenants or a site manager, vacant property inspections services can provide a significant cost saving in identifying potentially critical issues. Vacant property checks usually include:
Evaluating the presence of a hazard before it escalates into a bigger problem is particularly important in properties pending a new tenancy, where risks of fire or leaks are elevated or when the void period is likely to be extended.
Property reporting processes ensure that landlords, owners and site managers have continuous oversight of the condition of the building and can take pre-emptive action to mitigate threats to the integrity of the building.
Longer void periods also present a higher risk since any damage or deterioration can make a property considerably more exposed to criminal activity such as vandalism, theft, squatters and unwelcome tenants.
In any of these scenarios, investing in regular void inspection services by a trained security inspector can help assess possible problems, recommend corrective action and preserve the property’s value.
Clearway can schedule vacant property inspections services as required, which may be stipulated as part of your vacant property insurance or according to your preferences. Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or quarterly visits are often prerequisites for specialist void building cover.
Demonstrating diligence over vacant property security can ensure that any insurance claims you make are valid and fully covered, saving possible further expenditure.
Buildings insurance providers may be reluctant to cover a void premise for various reasons.
Where the owner presents a strong set of safeguards and robust property management, insurance premiums are likely to be more accessible, competitive, and comprehensive.
Empty units or residential properties with elevated risk factors identified during a risk assessment may also benefit from:
Each void inspection is logged, with reports compiled from walk-throughs inside and out, checking for any damage or deterioration, testing and resetting alarms, flushing water through the system if required, and identifying the cause of any changes.
Issues are reported immediately, along with recommended resolutions, and our inspectors can note meter readings during every visit as required.
As established specialists in vacant property security, Clearway’s inspectors will always advise if we have identified any additional risks or threats which pose a significant issue and can be addressed with simple security defences.
Benefits of regular property risk inspections include:
Using one vacant property inspection and security service is highly preferable to relying on different professionals to bear responsibility for reporting on the condition of your property.
A cohesive, responsive service is tailored to your requirements. It allows areas of concern raised during an inspection to be communicated directly with your alarm monitoring team or security patrols to take decisive action.
This approach reduces the likelihood of needing to pay extra insurance premiums, making a claim or suffering financial losses due to fire, flooding, criminal intrusions and other incidents.
Restricting access to a potentially dangerous property remains the owner’s responsibility, so controlling public access and preventing possible injuries or accidents is essential.
Every inspection is customised to the nature of your vacant property and specific threats or hazards identified in your risk assessments or conditions of insurance.
Weekly inspections can include checks for:
Ongoing inspections are designed to meet all of the requirements of the UK underwriting sector, based on nationwide best practice standards, including:
The dangers of unauthorized access are already well documented, however, without regular inspections and a trustworthy alarm system maintenance service, the potential financial burdens connected to these risks can become overwhelming and will invariably exceed the investment required for adequate alarm system upkeep.
Clearway can provide personalised alarm maintenance as part of our alarm inspection services. We offer regularly scheduled visits by an experienced technician to inspect the entire alarm system for any visible issues or signs of wear and tear.
