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.
We’re Nearly There - Help Us Finish the Helios Centre!
Blue Door Property Guardians is proud to support the refurbishment of the new Helios Centre in Holborn.
The Helios Centre has supported people living with HIV for decades. Now they're completing a modern, energy-efficient permanent home — but they can’t finish without you!
Production companies are constantly searching for filming locations that fit their creative vision, budget, and logistical needs. With our diverse portfolio of properties, we’re frequently approached by production teams looking to match unique features of a location with a director’s concept or script — whether that’s a period home, a contemporary office, an industrial setting, or a striking natural landscape.
Our latest collaboration is with the global creative agency Leagas Delaney, supporting the Royal British Legion’s powerful multichannel charity campaign, “On Your Street.” This project shines a light on the everyday lives of British Armed Forces veterans, capturing moving stories of those living within our communities.
We are now encouraging guardians to leave reviews on Trustpilot. These testimonials play a vital role in helping prospective residents understand what it’s like to live in a Blue Door property, while also offering valuable insights that support the organisation’s continuous improvement.
As the UK settles into its third lockdown (this time in the cold winter weather) authorities are warning property owners that rave organisers will be looking for indoor locations they can use to host illegal parties. We’ve put together a list of advice to help protect your vacant property from the devastating damage an illegal rave can cause.
Last year, we estimated that a vacant commercial property can cost upwards of £100,000/year to securely & adequately maintain. Money spent on security services, building maintenance fees and insurance premiums quickly add up. However, there is an effective & cheaper alternative – Property Guardianship. We’ve put together a few tips and tricks to help you spend less on your vacant property with the help of property guardians.
It’s finally the holiday season, as this unforgettable year slowly draws to a close, we hope you’re enjoying some festive cheer. Mulled wine and mince pies anyone? However, if you’re preparing your vacant property for the coming months, you’ll know that there’s a lot to think about before you can finally put your feet up and relax. We’ve put together this checklist to help you protect and prepare your vacant property for the holiday period - so you can get back to what matters at this time of year!
2020 has thrown us some curveballs. We’ve all had to adapt and evolve to a new way of pandemic life - and cities across the UK have been no exception. London is quieter than ever with TFL reporting that the tube has had a 77% decrease in passengers since last year. With many of us still working remotely, there are more empty offices and commercial buildings by the day. London is on pause and while lots of us stay safe at home, there’s a new population running free in the streets – the rats.
Vacant properties are always vulnerable to damage but as the temperature drops, the harsh winter weather brings a whole new set of risks. The good news is that a lot of weather-related damage is easily avoidable. However, without the right precautions, you could find yourself spending thousands on repair costs - not ideal after such a tough year!
