When you choose Shergroup Security as your integrated security provider, you are choosing a company with heritage and integrity.
Vacant property has its own set of unique challenges and risks. In the UK alone you would find around 9000 cases of fires each year in unoccupied properties. Along with this, there are numerous cases of property damages, stealing of content and fixtures and properties that are victim to vandalism, fly-tipping and illegal occupation by squatters or travellers.
Water damage is also a risk, especially if maintenance and repairs aren’t up to the mark. Employees, estate agents, surveyors, purchasers, tradesmen, trespassers, and even youngsters who elect to use the property as a playground have a legal responsibility to protect the safety of other parties entering the premises.
As a result, landlords need to adhere to the vacant property compliance standards, regulations, and ethical practices to protect their business properties when vacant. This by far and large also demonstrates that a landlord follows all the ethical practices and conducts itself correctly in front of the public. These rules and regulations, especially in the area of health and safety, have had and will continue to have an impact on, if not save, people’s lives, and should never be disregarded as petty or inconsequential.
Vacant Property Compliance service is chiefly made up of the following two areas:
Shergroup’s experienced Vacant Property Compliance department provides professional site monitoring and clearing services to businesses operating out of industrial sites. We are well-positioned to assist with the removal of combustible materials, as well as the hiring of a contractor to remove hazardous materials such as asbestos.
We can conduct thorough risk assessments of locations as part of our site monitoring service to verify they are fully compliant with the appropriate amount of insurance coverage. We can also ensure that your locations are safe and secure, both for your personnel as they go about their everyday tasks and for criminal activities such as theft and vandalism.
Criminal behaviour is more likely to take place on an empty property or industrial site than on one that is occupied. As a result, if you are the owner of such a location, you should take efforts to assure its safety. Shergroup’s monitored alarm system is designed to address this issue. For vacant homes, a temporary monitored alarm system provides versatile and cost-effective protection. Alarms that are monitored enable for continuous monitoring of both internal and external regions of a facility, as well as the capacity to focus on specific areas of interest, such as important plant and equipment. Monitored alarms are a cost-effective approach to ensure the safety and security of your vacant homes because they are often rented rather than purchased outright, and there are various contract lengths available.
According to insurance companies and agents who provide insurance for vacant properties when assessing the risk for a particular property the owners need to consider the following |
(Risk of injury to third parties)

We also provide a range of security services from CCTV to monitored alarms and from manned security guarding to K9 security services for your vacant property security needs.
