VACANT PROPERTY SECURITYIN EDINBURGH
Looking for reliable vacant property security in Edinburgh? Xtreme Protection provides professional, SIA-licensed vacant property security services across Edinburgh and the surrounding City of Edinburgh area, including Leith, Stockbridge, Morningside, Portobello and New Town. An empty building is a magnet for squatting, arson, metal theft and vandalism — and most insurance policies impose strict conditions on vacant premises. Xtreme Protection's vacant property security service keeps your empty assets protected, compliant and insurable.
Local knowledge matters in security. Our Edinburgh teams understand the specific risks facing City of Edinburgh premises — from opportunist theft and antisocial behaviour to organised targeting of high-value sites. We combine regular verified inspections with the right level of physical protection: temporary monitored CCTV and alarms, steel screens and boarding coordination, mobile patrols, K9 units and full-time guards for high-risk voids.
Every inspection follows a documented checklist — perimeter, entry points, utilities, water damage, fire hazards and fly-tipping — with time-stamped photographic reports that satisfy insurers and give you complete visibility of your asset.
