There was particular concern that this empty store would attract squatters or be an easy target for illegal fly-tipping, requiring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearway.co.uk\/our-services\/fly-tipping-removal\/\">fly-tipping removal company<\/a> to provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearway.co.uk\/our-services\/rubbish-and-waste-removal\/\">waste removal services<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Clearway went into action straight away and steel screens were fitted to provide a robust and secure exterior to all windows with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearway.co.uk\/vacant-property-security-steel-security-doors\/\">metal screen security doors<\/a> installed so that estate agents could still carry out viewings for potential new tenants. They also allow access for Clearway\u2019s property inspectors to regularly check the premises both inside and out for any maintenance work needed to stop any deterioration of the building fabric and fittings.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearway.co.uk\/our-services\/perimeter-security-systems\/\">securing the perimeter<\/a> of the large car park was paramount to preventing trespassers, squatters and other illegal occupation by vehicles. The solution was to install 33 interconnected concrete blocks around the perimeter with a security access gate to allow authorised entry.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearway.co.uk\/construction-site-security\/\">site remains secure<\/a> but is, sadly, likely to be only one of many as a further 17 Homebase stores are scheduled to close with 32 still under negotiation.
