Vacant or empty properties are often without power or a stable Internet connection. That’s something we’ve been quick to recognise here at ProFM, and with the innovative VPOD visually-verified alarm system, that’s no longer a concern. Fully solar-powered, with an integrated 2G SIM card for uninterrupted connectivity, and a simple, single-person installation, the VPOD is tailor-made for security at vacant properties.
There’s an inherent risk of crime at all vacant properties, from trespassing and squatting to vandalism and deliberate arson. Our expert security guards are the ideal deterrent, as well as a must-have resource for your site’s security. They’re able to deliver a suite of duties, including routine property patrols, addressing disturbances, setting and resetting alarm systems, and conducting property checks.

While our hospitals and healthcare in the UK are a point of pride and celebration for so many, we’re a growing nation, and our facilities have to reflect that. With our partnership with the NHS, we were able to offer specialist, round-the-clock cover for the decommissioned Royal Papworth Hospital, with our officers dealing with over 100 incidents along the way.
While physical security offers expert, licensed cover, it’s always beneficial to couple that with a more technologically advanced solution. Our mobile CCTV solutions offer exactly that, with our CCTV towers offering rapid installation, limitless solar power, and a constant connection to our 24/7/365 Control Room. Plus, with more covert options available for scaffolding or stalled construction projects, our CCTV is built to suit your site.
Of course, when it comes to vacant property security, budget is often a top priority. ProFM excels here, too, offering a budget-conscious approach to some of the most crucial services. That includes our key holding and alarm response services, where we’ll keep a copy of your keys on hand to deliver access whenever needed, and dispatch an officer whenever your alarm activates.
Crime is so often a headline grabber here in the UK, and vacant properties see a disproportionate amount of that risk, especially when it comes to trespassing, material theft and criminal damage. Our extensive suite of options encompasses some of the most effective crime deterrents, including NASDU-accredited canine handlers, officers in a patrol vehicle, and visible CCTV towers.
Here at ProFM Group, we’re exceptionally proud to offer a diverse range of security services and solutions for businesses up and down the UK. From our expertly trained security officers, to sophisticated electronic security solutions, we’re able to provide a robust, tailor-made suite of security services no matter what you do.
“I would like to express how professional the ProFM staff deployed to our site have been. Many people have tried to access the site, but have always been deterred by the ProFM team. I couldn’t of wished for a better service. Thank you to the team for all your support throughout the project.”
“We were thrilled to be offered the chance to partner with Virgin Media as part of their 6 Nations Rugby tournament event at Twickenham. Discover how we delivered an exceptional level of service during one of the most pivotal sporting events in the calendar.”
As one of the UK market leaders in luxury chocolate, Hotel Chocolat have quickly become synonymous with both that signature creamy texture and their high-impact, groundbreaking social initiatives. We’re thrilled to have been their security partner over the last 9 years, offering the bespoke levels of support that a brand like HC demands.
It’s fair to say that, since the Grenfell disaster in 2017, fire safety has taken on an entirely new level of importance. That’s something we’ve built a comprehensive familiarity with, and with our fast-acting and robust mobilisation at Berwick Court in Southwark, we were able to deliver a comprehensive, multi-officer solution at a moment’s notice.
“ProFM is an amazingly caring company. I truly feel like a person rather than a number, and they’re always on call if ever I need anything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ProFM!”
“ProFM’s UK coverage, high degree of flexibility and experienced senior team have resulted in an excellent level of support across our events. Their approach and drive to really understand our events and the type of team they need to deploy at each venue has ensured that our customers and teams truly have a security team that have their safety and security at the forefront of their approach.”
“Security are a critical part of the team, I go home on an evening and am happy and confident that everything is ok. We have a very successful relationship with ProFM and will be working with them for a long time”
“We appreciate the work ProFM Group has done and thank you for your contribution to the successful management of our emergency provision, through which we were able to provide accommodation and support to these often-vulnerable clients.”
“ProFM Group have been awarded the security contract for our new £32M facility here at Newport. When the facility was opened by HRH Prince Charles, there were a number of VIPs on this day, and the ProFM team worked closely with the Royal Security Team to make the day run smoothly.”
A pioneer in specialist products and chemicals for building projects, SIKA’s reputation so often precedes it. It’s that reputation that meant it needed an equally reputable security solution, and ProFM were on hand to deliver exactly that. That’s kick-started a multi-year partnership and personalised solutions.
No two sites are the same, and we’re firm believers that no two security solutions should be, either. We custom-build your security to ensure it matches both your demands and your budget.
With vacant properties so often the target of organised and opportunistic crime, we understand the need to react. We monitor crime data closely to identify local trends and respond swiftly and effectively.
All of our security officers are fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and have been vetted and screened in line with strict BS:7858 standards.
The isolated nature of vacant properties naturally makes them vulnerable, but with our average response of 30 minutes, the right response is never far away.
The threats to your security don’t sleep, and neither does our service. We’re on hand 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to deliver the right response and expert guidance.
When your vacant property or site finds its new lease of life, we’re there to help. Our extensive catalogue of solutions means we’re on hand to support you throughout your project’s lifecycle.
As one of the most at-risk sites from trespassing and criminal damage, vacant properties are high on the list of sites that demand expert security. Keeping your property or site secure ensures it stays protected for any future developments, too, and that you’re complying with any demands of your insurance policy, too.
No. All of our hired solutions (including CCTV towers and the innovative VPOD visually verified alarm system) operate on solar power, with a backup battery to combat the unpredictable British weather. They’ll connect wirelessly via a worldwide 2G SIM card to our 24/7/365 Control Room Operatives, who can get an officer to your site in just 30 minutes on average.
We’re able to provide a physical security presence on the same day (usually within 4 hours), and can then collaborate on a timeframe for any technology to be installed. Security emergencies can and do happen, and they’re particularly stressful at a property you own, so we understand the need for a fast and decisive response.
As a general rule, we advise opting for our mobile, hired security solutions, like the VPOD or mobile CCTV towers. These will be easy to set up, fully autonomous, and run entirely on solar power/built-in batteries, meaning you don’t run into any issues with infrastructure or power.
However, for more challenging or vulnerable properties (inner-city or industrial estate locations, for example), we’d recommend augmenting that with a physical security presence. These are an immediate response to any issues, and specialist solutions, like canine handlers, can act as a major deterrent.
Yes we can. Whether your site is vacant for a shorter (such as over the holidays, or due to short-term renovation works) or longer period (stalled works, contractual disputes, or budgetary concerns, for instance), we’re happy to provide a completely purpose-built solution.
Yes. Many vacant properties will have temporary cabins or usable facilities for officers, and in those scenarios, we’re able to provide an expert, SIA-licensed officer to cover your site. If you don’t have those facilities, we can still help by providing an officer in a vehicle who’ll be stationed at your premises.
We’re a nationwide business, and can deliver that same level of signature ProFM quality wherever we’ll find you. Get in touch today to discuss your options in more detail, and to receive your free, no-pressure quotation.
