We’ve won a Security & Fire Excellence Award for the 3rd time!

December 5, 2016

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve won a Security & Fire Excellence Award for the 3rd year in a row.

As in previous years, we won the category for Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative of the Year. We believe this is down to our innovative and socially-minded approach to securing buildings that would otherwise be empty. This enables us to help the communities in which we work as well as providing high quality security and fire safety in our properties.

So thank you to the various organisers of the event, including IPSA, the sponsors of our category. We appreciate the nomination and look forward to continue providing high quality, fire safe and socially-minded security over the coming years!

Feel free to read more about our standards and the community work that has ensured we have won this award three years running.

Dot Dot Dot stands for property guardianship done well

We are a social enterprise which houses people in buildings that would otherwise be empty

We respect our guardians, selecting only the very best while supporting them to further the interests of their neighbourhood and to provide a high level of service to the property’s owner. This is a win-win-win for property guardians, owners and communities.

Testimonials

Local people have been very positive. They like the fact an empty building in their neighbourhood is being used again and is being maintained.
Conor, Shoreham-by-Sea
“Once I knew that everyone was up for 16 hours of volunteering a month, I felt pretty confident they’d be great, considerate housemates, and they are.”
Kit, Croydon
“As a property guardian with Dot Dot Dot I save £450 per month compared with what I used to pay on rent – that’s a significant difference.”
Josh, Poplar
“Dot Dot Dot has been a perfect springboard to the city.”
Tom, Croydon
“Being a property guardian with Dot Dot Dot means you do more than simply live somewhere. Instead, because you volunteer you really become part of the community. The best bit is knowing you’ve made a difference and have had a positive impact on those around you.”
Tim, High Wycombe
“It’s a really cool place – I can use it to work in like an office, and there’s already a great community.”
Pete, Whitechapel
“Being a guardian gives me the freedom to do good, invest time in work I believe in and be part of a fascinating community. It’s a no-brainer.”
Sam, Thamesmead
“I love the idea that you are part of a community in such a large city. I like the fact we are allowed to be creative with the decoration of the flat and getting involved with local charities is something which I have missed doing over the last few years.”
Jasmine, Peckham
“It’s great because I often work from home. Because it’s a huge building you have you’re own space, but if you want to hang out with other guardians you can.”
Sarah, Whitechapel
“There’s an instant community feel here which is great. Looking forward to organising movie nights and board games nights with the other guardians.”
Caitlin, Whitechapel
