Protecting Empty Buildings with Smart Eye Cleaning and Security
Vacant properties, whether temporarily unoccupied or awaiting sale or renovation, face far greater risks than buildings in daily use. Without regular activity or supervision, these sites can quickly become targets for vandalism, burglary, squatting, and antisocial behaviour. In addition, unnoticed issues such as leaks, electrical faults, or small fires can escalate into major damage when left unmonitored. For property owners, landlords, and facility managers, consistent vacant property inspections are essential—not only for safety and protection but also for meeting many insurance requirements.
At Smart Eye Cleaning and Security, we provide tailored vacant property inspection services designed to safeguard your site, maintain its condition, and give you complete peace of mind. Our experienced team delivers structured, comprehensive checks that ensure your building remains secure, compliant, and ready for use whenever needed.
Exterior Property Checks
The exterior of an unoccupied property is often the first area to attract unwanted attention. A building that looks neglected can signal opportunity to trespassers or vandals. Our exterior inspections focus on maintaining the integrity and appearance of your property while identifying and addressing potential risks early.
Our security officers carry out:
- Perimeter and entry point checks to ensure that doors, windows, gates, and fences are secure, undamaged, and fully functional.
- Assessment of signs of attempted intrusion, such as broken locks, forced entry marks, or tampering.
- Grounds and garden inspections to identify overgrown vegetation or unmaintained landscaping that may give the impression of abandonment.
- Rubbish and debris removal to prevent the build-up of waste that can attract vermin or create fire hazards.
- Hazard identification, including loose materials, damaged external fixtures, or environmental issues that could develop into safety concerns.
Maintaining a clean, secure, and orderly exterior greatly reduces the likelihood of criminal activity and helps ensure your property remains compliant with health and safety standards.
Interior Property Checks
The internal condition of a vacant property can deteriorate quickly when left unattended. Issues such as leaks, damp, infestation, electrical faults, and structural damage often go unnoticed until they cause significant harm. Our trained team conducts detailed interior inspections to ensure the property remains protected and in good working order.
Interior checks include:
- Monitoring for signs of intrusion, such as displaced items, broken fittings, or suspicious activity.
- Identifying water, gas, or heating issues, including leaks, faulty controls, or malfunctioning equipment that could pose safety risks.
- Assessing fire safety concerns, such as outdated extinguishers, obstructed exits, or wiring irregularities.
- Checking for pests or signs of infestation, helping prevent contamination and structural damage.
- Reviewing general building condition, including dampness, mould growth, ventilation, and internal fixtures.
By maintaining the inside of the property to a high standard, we help you avoid long-term deterioration and costly repairs.
Utility and Compliance Checks
In many vacant properties, utilities remain partially active or require routine monitoring to meet insurance or regulatory obligations. Smart Eye Cleaning and Security offers thorough utility checks to ensure everything is documented and functioning safely.
Our officers record:
- Accurate meter readings for gas, electricity, and water
- Photographic evidence for verification and compliance
- Any irregularities or concerns, such as unexpected usage or tampering
These checks help protect the property from avoidable incidents and ensure you have clear, traceable records of all visits.
