Empty buildings and unattended homes are an easy target. Our liveried patrol vehicles carry out scheduled or random visits to your property, checking the perimeter and, where agreed, the inside too. Patrols run day or night and can be tailored around holidays, sale periods, or ongoing site security for commercial, residential and school premises across Greater Manchester, Stockport, Cheshire, Macclesfield and North Derbyshire.
How Our Mobile Patrols Work
Once you agree a schedule with us, our Response Officers visit your site at the times that suit you, whether that's daily checks, adhoc intervals, or unpredictable timings designed to keep potential intruders guessing. Officers look for signs of forced entry, windows or doors left open, flooding, or anything else that could put your property at risk. Every visit is logged and reported back to you through our vehicle tracking system, so you always know exactly when your property was checked and what was found.
House & Vacant Property Checks
Sometimes a drive past isn't enough. Our property checks go further, with internal inspections carried out on request. This is particularly useful for:
Homes left empty while you're on holiday
Properties up for sale or between tenants
Offices, schools and commercial units that sit unattended outside working hours
Buildings recently vacated ahead of redevelopment or refurbishment
We check for the issues that tend to go unnoticed until they become expensive: leaks, storm damage, break-in attempts, or signs that squatters or trespassers have been on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often can patrols visit my property?
As often as you need. Some clients want daily checks, others prefer random visits spread across the week to keep timings unpredictable.
What's the difference between a mobile patrol and a property check?
A patrol typically covers the perimeter of your site. A property check can include an internal inspection as well, giving you a fuller picture of the property's condition.
Which areas do you cover?
We're based in Stockport and cover Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Macclesfield, Congleton, North Derbyshire and Lancashire, with a nationwide service available on request.
Can you check on my home while I'm away?
