What is the price of vacant property grilles and screens in Huntingdon?
As a guide, vacant property grilles and screens in Huntingdon cost £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
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.

- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Removal and making good at reoccupation

Planning and safety 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.
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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Huntingdon: questions
Can you survey in Huntingdon and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Huntingdon, St Neots, Cambridge and elsewhere in Cambridgeshire are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
