What is the price of vacant property grilles and screens in Berkshire?
Budget £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening for vacant property grilles and screens in Berkshire, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
Vacant property grilles and screens are steel panels or grilles fixed over the windows and doors of an empty building to stop break-ins, squatting, fly-tipping and vandalism. Perforated steel screens let light and air in while keeping people out, and come down cleanly when the building is reoccupied.

- Perforated steel window screens
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units

Planning and safety in England
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering; the insurer decides whether a product meets it.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Berkshire: questions
Which towns in Berkshire do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Berkshire, including Reading, Slough, Bracknell, Maidenhead and Wokingham, and in other towns across the area.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
How quickly can screens be fitted?
Steel screens are standard sizes adjusted on site, so they can usually be fitted faster than made-to-measure grilles. We confirm the date when you book.
Can you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
