Frequently asked questions

How can I protect a vacant property from trespassers and fly-tipping?

Physical deterrents such as heavy duty barriers and secure gates are the most effective way to block vehicle access and prevent unauthorised entry. 

What is the best way to secure an unoccupied building or site?

Combine perimeter protection with controlled access points. Barriers prevent vehicles entering, while gates allow authorised access when needed. 

What is the difference between fencing and hoarding?

Fencing is an open structure for marking boundaries, while hoarding uses solid panels for privacy and a stronger visual barrier. Hoarding is often paired with barriers for added security. 

How quickly can a vacant site be secured?

Emergency setups can be completed within 24–48 hours, with same week installations for most sites. Rapid deployment is critical after eviction or handover. 

Will these systems work on uneven ground or restricted access sites?

Yes. Modular designs adapt to irregular layouts and surface mounted systems avoid drilling. Delivery can be managed, even through narrow routes. 

Do I need to worry about damaging surfaces during installation?

No. Modern systems are surface mounted and use protective mats where needed, so there is no drilling or permanent fixings. 

Are these security measures compliant with safety standards?

Yes. Hill & Smith Infrastructure solutions meet ISO standards and CE/UKCA marking for peace of mind and insurance compliance. PAS-68 crash tested solutions are available.

What happens if something goes wrong after installation?

Emergency call out services are available, often within a few hours, to address issues quickly and keep your site secure. 

Is it better to hire or buy security barriers?

Hiring is ideal for short term risks and includes maintenance. Buying suits long term protection, with optional service agreements for upkeep.

Why is speed so important when securing a vacant property?

Delays can lead to reoccupation or fly-tipping within days, causing legal and financial headaches. Fast action reduces risk and protects your investment. 

How much do vacant property barriers cost?

Pricing depends on whether you hire or purchase and the type of barrier system required. As a guide, short term hire is priced per block per day, while purchase involves a one off investment based on size and specification. For an accurate figure, speak to our team for a tailored quote.
