Security Service
Vacant Property Security
Protection and regular inspection for empty buildings between tenancies, sales or redevelopment.
An empty building attracts attention quickly. Unauthorised occupation, theft of copper and fittings, water damage from a failed system and fly-tipping can all take hold long before anyone visits.
Frontline Security provides patrols, key holding and recorded inspections for vacant premises, giving owners and agents evidence that the property is being checked and any issue is reported promptly.
Empty premises in and around Southampton attract squatting, metal theft and vandalism quickly, and insurers usually expect documented inspections while a building stands unoccupied.
