★★★★★5.0SECURICO provides vacant property security across the UK — delivered by SIA-licensed, directly-employed officers vetted to BS 7858 and backed by a 24/7 operations centre. Cover is shaped around your site and scaled from a single shift to a managed multi-site contract.
An empty building is a liability the day it's left — the fix is layered cover sized to its risk, not a single guard.
An empty building is a liability the moment it's left: squatters, metal and cable theft, vandalism, fly-tipping, arson and the insurance and legal exposure that follow. Vacant property security protects the asset until it's let, sold, redeveloped or demolished, using the right mix of measures for its risk and value rather than a one-size guard. SECURICO typically layers regular logged inspections, mobile patrols at unpredictable times, rapid-deployment CCTV towers and alarm response, with on-site concierge or guarding where the risk justifies it. We hold keys, coordinate boarding-up and securing of access points, carry out welfare and compliance checks an insurer expects to see, and liaise on lawful squatter removal if a property is already occupied. Everything is documented, so you have an auditable record that the property was monitored and maintained throughout the void. Cover flexes as the property moves through its lifecycle, and combines with CCTV monitoring and patrols across a portfolio of empty sites.
Professional vacant property security across the UK
SECURICO provides vacant property security for organisations across every sector — built around the risks specific to your site rather than dropped in as a generic guard. Officers arrive with assignment instructions written for your premises, and every shift is backed by a round-the-clock operations centre.
Every SECURICO officer is directly employed, holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to the BS 7858 British screening standard — never subcontracted. That means the standard you're promised is the standard that turns up, whether you need a single overnight officer or a managed team across multiple sites.
