01 — Service overview
MavCo Security offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to protect vacant properties, which are often vulnerable to security risks including trespass, vandalism, theft and damage.
These services are designed to maintain the safety and integrity of the property while it is unoccupied — whether that is for a few weeks between tenants or an extended period awaiting redevelopment.
02 — Why it matters
Vacant property attracts a specific set of problems: metal and cable theft, squatting, fly-tipping, arson and the slow damage that follows a broken window nobody noticed for a fortnight.
The financial exposure is usually larger than owners expect. Insurance on unoccupied property is conditional, and those conditions frequently require documented inspections at defined intervals. A claim can fail on the absence of a patrol record rather than on the loss itself.
A visible security presence changes the calculation for anyone assessing the building, and a documented patrol regime protects the position with your insurer at the same time.
03 — What we provide
/01
Scheduled and unannounced visits to the property, inside and out, at intervals matched to the risk and to whatever your insurer requires.
/02
Where the risk justifies continuous cover — a high-value site, an active trespass problem or a building in a location that attracts attention — officers on site rather than visiting.
/03
Checking the things that fail first: doors, boarding, fencing, ground floor windows and roof access. Most unauthorised entry uses a weakness that was visible beforehand.
/04
A visible, regular presence is the most effective deterrent against occupation. Where entry has already occurred, we can support the process of dealing with it.
/05
Reporting the state of the building at each visit — damage, water ingress, fly-tipping, vandalism — so problems surface while they are still small.
/06
Keys held securely, with access arranged for contractors, surveyors, agents and viewings without the owner having to attend every time.
04 — Why MavCo
/01
Every patrol timed and recorded, which is exactly what an unoccupied property insurance policy will ask you to demonstrate.
/02
Cover scaled to the actual risk — periodic patrols for a low-risk building, continuous presence where the exposure justifies it.
/03
Licensed, trained officers rather than a caretaker arrangement.
/04
Condition reporting that catches water ingress or a forced door while it is still a small repair.
/05
From a few weeks between tenants to an extended period awaiting redevelopment.
/06
Access managed for contractors, agents and viewings without the owner attending each time.
