About Sentry Asset Protection
An empty property is never simply an empty building.
It is a valuable asset — one that needs attention, protection and responsible management. This is the story of how we look after it.
Protecting Property. Preserving Value.
Who we are
We specialise in vacant property protection, commercial security and empty property management.
We help commercial property owners, landlords and managing agents in London and across the UK protect vacant buildings and keep oversight during vacancy. Live-in caretakers, property guardianship, security guarding, intelligent CCTV, vacant property management and legitimate business rate mitigation — brought together under one roof, with arrangements assessed for each property.
One call. One accountable partner. Zero hassle.
A smarter approach
Traditional security isn't always the most practical answer. So we start with your building, not a package.
We assess each property and help identify solutions that balance security, ongoing oversight and operational cost.
Empty office, vacant retail unit, industrial site or a whole commercial portfolio — the aim is a dependable solution that fits your specific requirements.
Effective property protection should be straightforward, transparent and professionally managed.
Our expertise
Six ways we look after a building.
01
Live-in Property Caretakers
A dedicated on-site presence for suitable vacant commercial properties — regular inspections, photographic reporting, contractor access and prompt notice of maintenance concerns. For appropriate properties, a cost-conscious alternative to round-the-clock guarding.
02
Professional Security Guarding
Static guarding, access control and cover for vulnerable or higher-risk buildings, tailored to each site and using suitably licensed security personnel where required.
03
Intelligent CCTV Solutions
Visibility over your building. Depending on the system and arrangement: temporary installations, remote monitoring, motion detection, alerts and coordinated incident response.
04
Vacant Property Management
Routine inspections, condition reporting, contractor coordination and escalation of concerns — keeping owners informed throughout every period of vacancy.
05
Business Rate Mitigation
Exploring legitimate business rate mitigation opportunities, assessed against each property's circumstances and applicable regulations — lawful, practical ways to ease the cost of vacant buildings.
06
Guardians
Carefully vetted property guardians living in and looking after vacant buildings — a visible daily presence that keeps your property occupied, deters intrusion and keeps you informed.
Why owners choose us
Four things we hold ourselves to.
One accountable partner
Multiple vacant property services together, without coordinating separate suppliers.
Practical and cost-conscious
Appropriate protection arrangements, without unnecessary expenditure.
Clear communication
You should know what is happening at your building. Regular updates and reporting sit at the centre of how we work.
Tailored to your property
Every building is different. We consider the property, its circumstances and your requirements before we recommend anything.
Our philosophy
Your property. Our responsibility.
Vacant properties deserve active attention, clear accountability and sensible management. We work with commercial landlords, property investors, managing agents and asset managers who want the confidence of knowing their properties are being looked after.
