At RFX Services UK, we provide reliable and cost-effective security solutions for vacant commercial and residential properties. With over three decades of industry experience, our manned guarding and remote monitoring services ensure your property is fully protected at all times.
Empty properties are at high risk of vandalism, theft, squatting, and deterioration. By securing your premises, we help reduce these risks, protect your investment, and save you from costly repairs or legal issues
Vacant Property Security Risk
Theft
Vacant properties are prime targets for thieves looking to strip valuable materials such as copper pipes, electrical wiring, sockets, and even windows or doors. In their haste, criminals often cause extensive structural damage, adding to repair costs.
Vandalism
Unoccupied buildings attract vandals and graffiti artists. In minutes, a single act of vandalism can cause thousands in damage, lower property value, and negatively impact the surrounding area.
Trespass & Squatting
With over 20,000 squatters estimated in the UK, empty properties face a growing risk. Squatting not only damages the property but also leads to complex and costly eviction processes while devaluing your asset.
Legal Issues
Property owners can face significant legal expenses, from eviction proceedings to liability claims if trespassers are injured on-site. Allowing a vacant property to deteriorate can also result in further legal and financial complications.

Security Risk Assessments
We begin with a full security and safety risk assessment of your vacant property. This allows us to identify vulnerabilities and recommend the most effective protection within your budget. Our assessments are particularly valuable for larger commercial sites left unoccupied.

Mobile Patrols
Mobile patrols provide a visible deterrent while ensuring regular checks on your property. Our patrol teams monitor for signs of break-ins, inspect for safety issues, and can take immediate temporary action to secure the site until permanent measures are in place.
+
CCTV Remote Monitoring
Empty buildings are especially vulnerable to vandalism, squatting, and unauthorised entry. Our vacant property security services include manned patrols and monitoring to deter intruders and provide peace of mind while your property is unoccupied.

Static Security Guards
For second homes, furnished residences, or large commercial properties, static guards provide continuous on-site protection. Our professional guards can react immediately to suspicious activity, ensuring your property remains a far less attractive target to criminals.
