Perforated steel screens let light and air in while keeping people out, and come down cleanly when the building is reoccupied.

Things to decide before you order
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
Rules that apply 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.

Which areas near Crowthorne do you cover?
We can arrange work in Crowthorne and in nearby Sandhurst (2 miles), Yateley (2 miles) and Camberley (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
Can you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
