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.

Fitting in Windsor and nearby
Windsor is about 16 miles from Reading, the main centre for Berkshire. We can survey and fit across the SL4 district and in nearby places such as Slough and Egham.
Berkshire mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Reading, commuter semis along the Thames Valley and modern business parks around Slough and Bracknell.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Buildings between tenants
- Empty shops and offices
- Void council and housing association homes
- Properties awaiting sale or probate
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
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.
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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Windsor: questions
Do you cover Slough as well as Windsor?
Yes. As well as Windsor, we can arrange surveys in nearby Slough, Egham and Staines-upon-Thames, and elsewhere in Berkshire.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
Can screens be fitted to upper windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Accessible upper windows above flat roofs or extensions are often included.
Can you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
