Trusted protection for people, property and business continuity
Classic Services Group specialise in security for vacant properties. We offer a range of security measures which protect your empty premises from squatters, vandals and thieves.
CCTV and intruder alarms, keyholding, monitoring and alarm response, manned guarding and mobile patrols. We help you find the vacant property security option which keeps your investment safe.
Vacant buildings are notoriously vulnerable. Without strong security in place, they are an open door for criminals.
Each property has its own risks, so we’ll start with a security assessment. It’s free, with no obligation to continue. Depending on the vulnerability gaps, we can close them with any of the following:

To an insurer, vacant properties are high risk. If you’re struggling to find insurance for vacant premises, or paying a fortune for cover, we can help.
Our security experts carry out property inspections tailored to your insurer’s specific policy requirements. When there are problems, we recommend solutions. If there’s a serious security risk, we deal with it immediately.
After each inspection, you receive a real-time report with time-stamped photographs as proof of proactive risk management. As a result:

Installed for the short or long term, CCTV and alarm systems are a powerful deterrent. If a crime is committed, CCTV footage can be used as evidence.
SIA-licensed keyholding officers provide a 24/7 alarm response. They also carry out interior and exterior maintenance checks, security inspections and full reporting.
Mobile patrols are a powerful deterrent. Criminals can’t plan an attack because SIA-licensed officers arrive to patrol the property at unpredictable times.
Managers and caretakers safeguard your investment. They prevent break-ins, keep a close eye on maintenance issues and help you meet insurance requirements.
Alarms rarely happen at convenient times. Our gold-standard monitoring service takes the burden off your shoulders by managing alarm responses on your behalf.
Insurance inspections and reports are tailored to your insurer’s policy requirements. As a result, insurance for vacant properties can be easier to find and less expensive.

You may have some questions about vacant property security. We’ve answered some of the most common questions here, although please feel free to call us on 0844 561 0578.
No, you won’t need electricity for CCTV or intruder alarms. Our systems are specifically designed for vacant properties without a constant power source. There’s a wide variety available — wireless, battery operated or solar powered.
Yes, our CCTV and alarm systems can easily be provided on a temporary basis. They’re quick to install and remove.
With mobile patrols, SIA-licensed officers travel around the local area in marked vans. They attend your vacant property at pre-arranged yet random times to avoid a predictable pattern for criminals to exploit.
While at the property, officers carry out thorough security and maintenance checks to both the interior and exterior. You’re alerted to any issues and, when authorised to do so, they’ll fix them on the spot. The officers document everything in real time and after each patrol, you receive a full report.
If we find damage at your vacant property we’ll report it to you straight away, along with our recommendations for fixing and securing the premises. When authorised, officers may be able to fix the problem straight away. Otherwise, they’ll remain onsite to protect the property until the agreed arrangements have been made.
It’s a flexible service, carried out by trained security responders at our NSI Gold Category 1 alarm receiving centre (ARC). We can monitor your security alarms 24/7, or only when needed.
This is how it generally works:
Insurance companies generally impose strict regulations on providing cover for vacant properties. They expect proactive risk reduction to avoid claims following criminal activity, electrical faults, fire, water leaks or environmental damage.
We tailor our service in line with your insurer’s specific requirements. With detailed reports following each inspection, you can show them evidence that you’re managing the risk. This can make vacant property insurance easier to come by and, in some instances, it can reduce premiums.
There’s no slick sales team or upselling. We provide honest advice about what you might need — and equally honest advice about what isn’t necessary. It’s our job to keep you safe, and save you money.
