How much should I budget for vacant property grilles and screens in Amersham?

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.
What you can specify
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Perforated steel window screens

What to think about first
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
How long it will be empty
For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
Consents and safety: England
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.
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 Amersham: questions
Do you cover Chesham as well as Amersham?
Yes. As well as Amersham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Chesham, Chalfont St Peter and Gerrards Cross, and elsewhere in Buckinghamshire.
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.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
