Protect, Maintain and Prepare Vacant Properties with Integrated Property Services

Vacant and unoccupied properties face constant risks — from vandalism, trespass and fly-tipping to water damage, pest infestations and building deterioration. VPS provides a complete range of vacant property services designed to help protect assets, maintain compliance and prepare properties for re-occupation, redevelopment or sale.

As Europe’s leading temporary security specialist, VPS combines property maintenance, inspections, glazing, environmental services and human intervention solutions into one fully integrated offering. Unlike standalone contractors, VPS can rapidly identify risks, coordinate remedial works and deploy additional temporary security measures where required — helping customers reduce supplier complexity while improving visibility and control.

Whether you manage commercial buildings, residential portfolios, social housing, infrastructure assets or redevelopment sites, VPS helps ensure vacant properties remain secure, compliant and operational throughout every stage of vacancy.
