From 9th March, National Empty Homes Week will once again shine a spotlight on an important issue affecting communities across the UK — the growing number of empty residential and commercial buildings, and the growing housing crises.
It’s hard to ignore the weather headlines this year. With rain recorded somewhere in the UK every single day so far in 2026, it’s been an unusually wet and persistent start to the year - and it’s already having a noticeable impact on buildings, infrastructure, and property maintenance nationwide.
Fire safety is about awareness, prevention, and preparedness. Small actions — like unplugging unused appliances, keeping exits clear, and testing alarms — make a big difference.
If you ever have questions about fire safety or notice a potential risk in your property, please contact the Blue Door team. Your safety always comes first.
In film, television, and commercial production, the right location can elevate a project from ordinary to exceptional. Production companies are always searching for spaces that bring scripts to life, work within budget, and meet practical requirements. That’s where Blue Door Property Guardians come in.
