Securing London's Regeneration Projects: A Case Study in Effective Protection

Securing Regeneration Projects for a London Local Authority

Client: London Local Authority
Sector: Regeneration & Housing
Services Delivered: CCTV Intrusion Detection, Steel Security Screens & Doors, Clearance Works, Risk Assessments
Scope: 200+ properties secured across the borough

Overview

For several years, our team has supported a major London local authority in protecting its regeneration projects across the borough. These projects involve vacant or semi-vacant properties awaiting redevelopment—sites that are typically vulnerable to squatting, vandalism, arson, and unauthorised access.

Our role has been to safeguard these properties while enabling the local authority to progress large-scale regeneration schemes focused on delivering new, high-quality housing for the community.

Our Approach

We implemented a robust, multi-layered security strategy tailored to each property and project area. This included:

• CCTV Intrusion Detection Systems – providing real-time monitoring and rapid response to any attempted breaches.
• Steel Window & Door Screens – offering strong physical barriers to deter intrusions and protect vacant assets.
• Steel Security Doors – ensuring safe, controlled access for authorised staff and contractors.
• Clearance & Environmental Risk Assessments – improving site safety, preventing fire risks, and ensuring each property was safe to manage and monitor.

We worked collaboratively with the local authority’s regeneration and housing teams to ensure a seamless process from inspection to installation and ongoing safeguarding.

Results & Impact

Our long-term partnership has delivered exceptional outcomes:

• Zero unnoticed intrusions
• Zero squatted properties
• Zero injuries or fires on any safeguarded site
• 200+ properties secured to date

This record demonstrates the effectiveness of our systems, the quality of our installations, and the consistency of our site management.

Community Contribution

Beyond property protection, we have played an active role in supporting the borough’s local community. Over the years, we have:

• Contributed to local food banks
• Supported community improvement schemes
• Provided advice and assistance to the local authority’s service partners on welfare initiatives
• Offered input on employment and back-to-work programmes, helping residents access opportunities tied to regeneration works
• Made donations to community initiatives

Conclusion

Our continued work with the borough showcases our commitment not only to securing regeneration assets, but also to supporting the community that will benefit from the new housing schemes. With a proven track record and a collaborative approach, we remain a trusted partner in safeguarding the borough’s transformation projects.
