Vacant Property Packages

Vacant properties present a unique combination of risks, including break-ins, arson, fly-tipping, and liability claims. At Marpol Security, we offer tailored Vacant Property Packages designed to provide comprehensive protection and compliance in a single, cost-effective solution.

Tailored Security Solutions for Empty Buildings, Land & Sites

Our packages can be adapted to suit a range of needs, such as short-term cover for a property awaiting sale or ongoing management of an extensive, long-term vacant portfolio. Each solution is built around your specific requirements and budget.

Why Choose a Security Package?

Individual security measures are effective, but combining them creates a far more robust and proactive solution. With Marpol’s Vacant Property Packages, you benefit from:

Comprehensive Protection: Cover every risk area from access points to perimeter control.

Streamlined Management: A single point of contact, one quote, and coordinated implementation.

Insurance Compliance: Meet the conditions of vacant property insurance with one all-in-one service.

Better Value: Packaged services often come at a lower overall cost than commissioning each one separately.

What’s Included?

Each package is customised to the size, type, and risk profile of your property. Typical components include:

Steel Security for Doors and Windows

High-strength steel doors and window screens to prevent entry and protect against vandalism or illegal occupation.

Temporary Alarm Systems

Battery-powered wireless alarms with optional 24/7 monitoring via our in-house control room.

Keyholding & Alarm Response

Fast, professional attendance by licensed Marpol officers in the event of alarm activations or site breaches.

Vacant Property Inspections (VPI)

Scheduled checks on your property’s condition and security status, including photos and written reports.

Boarding Up Services

Steel boarding to secure broken windows, access points, or entire properties in emergency situations.

Concrete Barriers or Temporary Fencing

Physical perimeter security to block unauthorised vehicle access or secure open land and car parks.
