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 the rules say 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 Chalfont St Peter: questions
Do you cover Gerrards Cross as well as Chalfont St Peter?
Yes. As well as Chalfont St Peter, we can arrange surveys in nearby Gerrards Cross, Rickmansworth and Amersham, and elsewhere in Buckinghamshire.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
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.
