Why Choose a Temporary Alarm?

Vacant buildings are attractive targets for break-ins, vandalism, and squatting. Without an active deterrent, property owners can face costly damage or insurance issues. Marpol’s temporary alarm systems are:

Rapid to install – often same-day

Fully wireless – no need for mains power

Insurer-approved and risk-compliant

Scalable – from single units to full-site coverage

We work with landlords, developers, local authorities, insolvency practitioners, and managing agents to keep vacant buildings secure and legally compliant.
