Protecting Property through Every Stage of Change

Security is about more than protecting a property. It’s about maintaining control, preserving value and ensuring assets remain ready for their next phase. Security is about more than preventing unauthorised access. It is about maintaining control, reducing cost, preserving value and keeping an asset ready for what comes next.

Ad Hoc provides integrated security and property protection for vacant buildings, development sites, public assets and critical infrastructure across the UK. Unlike providers focused on a single product, we consider the whole asset. We combine monitored security technology, physical protection, property guardians, inspections and ongoing property oversight to create the right solution for each site

Ad Hoc Security: One Partner, Every Layer of Temporary Property Protection

Every property carries different risks, and those risks can change throughout its lifecycle.

We assess the property, understand the client’s plans and build a proportionate solution around the asset. This may include property guardianship, temporary CCTV, alarms, access control, physical security, inspections or a combination of services.

As circumstances change, the solution can change with them, giving clients one accountable partner from initial vacancy through to redevelopment, reoccupation, sale or disposal.

The Process

Assess 01

We start with the property, not the product. We assess your site, how it is being used, the risks it faces and your plans for the building. Whether you need to protect a vacant property, development site or occupied premises, we take the time to understand what level of security and protection is genuinely required.

Recommend 02

Every property is different, so the solution should be too. We recommend the most appropriate approach based on your property, its risks and your objectives. This could include temporary or fixed CCTV, CCTV towers, 24/7 monitored security technology, alarms, physical security, security guarding, property guardians, or a combination of services.

Implement 03

Once the approach is agreed, our teams coordinate and implement the solution efficiently. From rapidly deployed temporary CCTV and monitored security systems to guarding or property guardianship, we bring together the right services to protect your property while keeping the process straightforward.

Manage 04

Effective property security needs to adapt. We continue to oversee and review the solution as risks, occupancy, timescales or your plans change, adjusting the level of protection where required. This helps ensure your property remains appropriately protected throughout its lifecycle.
