 Property / Site Clearance
The requirement to clear and clean a property varies according
to the circumstances as it may be the result of eviction,
repossession, re-homing or even death.

This type of work can be testing for even our highly experienced
teams and a sympathetic and patient approach is needed to
wade through the often-idiosyncratic accumulation of rubbish,
possessions, years of papers, bedding and human waste in the
most unsanitary of conditions.

and Screens OVED

The vast majority of the time, criminal intrusions and thefts occur
by accessing your property through doors and windows; and even
the toughest of locks can be bypassed via forced entry. This creates
a critical vulnerability, particularly in vacant properties, which is
where security screens and security doors provide an invaluable
layer of protection.

Whether required for several weeks or long-term, professionally

fitted steel security doors and screens create a shield against
intruders, providing a secure safety barrier to deter criminal
behaviour. Our security doors can replace existing doors and are
designed to give authorised personnel easy access to the property.

Temporary Alarms

Our temporary wireless intruder alarms and detection systems

are the perfect security solution to help prevent unauthorised
access to your premises or illegal trespassing. These systems
use motion detection to identify trespassers or burglars and
suspicious activity once the alarm is armed.

Our alarm systems are designed to minimise

 CCTV
Temporary CCTV is the perfect solution for monitoring
your empty property, as well as acting as a highly effective
deterrent to anti-social behaviour. All events are recorded,
stored remotely, and made available to security staff as
well as local authorities, providing greater security and
peace of mind.

Our inView Mobile CCTV Towers comprises a 6m mast,

topped by a high-definition digital camera providing
coverage in every direction. Their unique design makes
them much more difficult to sabotage, whilst at the same
time providing an ideal vantage point for CCTV monitoring.

inView Mobile CCTV Towers run on solar energy and high

capacity batteries, negating the need for an electricity
supply. As standard they include infrared and audible
alarms, lighting, and timed arm and disarm.

CCTV towers provide one of the most robust

and effective empty property and site
security options on the market.

Dog Units

Our manned guarding services provide security support

at various locations as an effective solution to prevent
vandalism, theft and unauthorised access, helping to establish
an ongoing assurance and confidence in the safety of your
business. Clearway provides a highly responsive short or long-
term contractual security guard service across the UK.

Clearway guards are highly trained and SIA Accredited to

deliver a full range of guarding roles, including static manned
guarding, stewarding and crowd control, guarding patrols,
dog patrols, mobile security, keyholding services and more.
Security teams provide rapid response security and 24/7/365
cover, ensuring you’re never left exposed to security threats.

 Property Inspections
Regular property inspections provide advanced warning of
any vulnerabilities before significant issues arise. A full report
will assist the property owner in complying with relevant
insurance requirements. We provide this service as part of
our void or vacant property security solutions.

Property inspections include:

• Exterior checks: Inspecting exterior of property

to check on building security integrity, attempted
intrusions, build-up of rubbish, land and garden
maintenance, and any potential hazards to the public.

• Utility checks: Gas, Water and Electric meter readings

will be recorded along with photographic evidence on
each visit.

• Interior checks: Inspecting interior of premises for We provide a comprehensive, professional and

remains, insurance compliant.
• A permanent record: all inspections are stored and can
be accessed via our on line inspections portal.

Perimeter Protection
Concrete blocks, temporary steel mesh panel (Heras) fencing
and telescopic bollards provide highly effective perimeter
security and vehicle access management. Together, they
prevent access from fly-tippers or those wishing to illegally
occupy land or property.

Quick to install, concrete blocks are also highly effective at

preventing unauthorised access to forecourts, car parks,
fields and site compounds, and are commonly used to
prevent ram-raiders or terrorist attacks on key buildings or
public areas and are ideal for:

• Preventing unauthorised vehicular access to forecourts,

car parks, fields and site compounds

• Preventing access to fly-tippers, squatters and other

illegal occupation

• Protecting buildings against ram-raiders

 Insurance Compliance
Property owners have a legal responsibility to ensure the
safety of third parties entering the premises, whether
they are employees, estate agents, surveyors, buyers,
tradespeople or trespassers, and even children who decide to
use the property as a playground.

In assessing the risk to your particular property (or properties)

all major insurance providers look for the following:

Management Security
