A day in the life of your property

Your Property Doesn't Stop Needing Attention.

Even when a building is empty, there are still things that need looking after.

  1. Checking a secured rear door during a property inspection

    Property inspections and checks

    Regular walk-throughs keep a close eye on the building's condition, access points and services — even when nobody is working there.

  2. A water stain on a ceiling tile logged during an inspection

    Spotting visible issues early

    A water stain, a draught, a door that doesn't close properly — small signs are noticed and logged before they become bigger problems.

  3. Checking the perimeter fencing of a vacant property

    Reporting concerns to the right people

    Anything that needs attention is raised with the relevant contacts promptly, with clear photographs and notes.

  4. A Sentry team member supervising access at a property

    Coordinating contractor access

    Where agreed, visits from contractors and engineers are arranged and supervised, so work happens without the building sitting open.

  5. A vacant commercial property looked after by Sentry

    Regular updates and reporting

    You receive clear, regular reporting on your property's condition and activity, so you always know where things stand.

Testimonials

In their own words.

We were spending a considerable amount on security for an empty commercial building. Sentry introduced us to their live-in caretaker service, which significantly reduced our costs without compromising on having someone present at the property. It's been an excellent solution.
Jacob B
What we particularly appreciate is that the service goes beyond simply having someone in the building. The caretaker helps facilitate contractor access, keeps an eye out for maintenance issues and provides regular reports. It's exactly the level of oversight we were looking for.
Maurice J
We contacted Sentry when we urgently needed security at one of our sites. They understood the situation immediately and had guards arranged at short notice. Communication was excellent throughout, and everything was handled professionally.
My Property Group
We needed a practical way to secure a vacant property without the ongoing expense of permanent guards. Sentry helped us arrange a CCTV solution suited to the site. The process was straightforward, and we've been very happy with the level of service.
