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.

Planning and safety in 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 Milton Keynes: questions

Do you cover Bletchley as well as Milton Keynes?

Yes. As well as Milton Keynes, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bletchley, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill, 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.

Do screens damage the building?

Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
