How much should I budget for vacant property grilles and screens in Redruth?

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.
What you can specify
- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Perforated steel window screens

- Development sites before works
- Properties awaiting sale or probate
- Empty shops and offices
What to think about first
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.

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; the insurer decides whether a product meets it.
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 Redruth: questions
Can you survey in Redruth and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Redruth, Camborne, Truro and elsewhere in Cornwall are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.

Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
