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
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Perforated steel window screens

Consents and safety: Northern Ireland
External grilles and planning
Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the eleven councils. External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission, and councils generally prefer internal, see-through security in town centres.
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 Newry: questions
Can you survey in Newry and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Newry, Banbridge, Armagh and elsewhere in County Down are booked around installer availability.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
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.
