A tailored quote. Not a one-size-fits-all price.
Live-in caretakers and licensed security guards provide different services. A caretaker may be a suitable, cost-conscious alternative for some vacant properties, but does not automatically replace licensed security guarding. Any comparison depends on your property's risks and requirements; no equivalent protection or savings are guaranteed.

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.
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.
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.
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.
