Vacant property grilles and screens in Mold: what will it cost?
Most vacant property grilles and screens in Mold fall within £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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.

- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units

Getting the right steel screen for your building
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
What the rules say in Wales
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local planning authority. Welsh councils' shopfront and design guidance generally favours internal, see-through security over solid external shutters.
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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Mold: questions
Which areas near Mold do you cover?
We can arrange work in Mold and in nearby Buckley (2 miles), Deeside (5 miles) and Hawarden (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
