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.

- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Light and ventilation through perforations

Things to decide before you order

Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
Rules that apply in Wales
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.
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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Wrexham: questions
Do you cover Rhosllanerchrugog as well as Wrexham?
Yes. As well as Wrexham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Rhosllanerchrugog, Buckley and Hawarden, and elsewhere in Clwyd.
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.
