- Steel security door with a key or code lock

- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Removal and making good at reoccupation

Getting the right steel screen for your building
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
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.
Grilles in rented homes
Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, landlords must keep dwellings fit for human habitation, which takes fire hazards into account. Grilles over windows a contract-holder may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Rhosllanerchrugog: questions
Can you survey in Rhosllanerchrugog and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Rhosllanerchrugog, Wrexham, Buckley and elsewhere in Clwyd are booked around installer availability.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
Can screens be fitted to upper windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Accessible upper windows above flat roofs or extensions are often included.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
