Vacant property grilles and screens in Enniskillen: questions
Can you survey in Enniskillen and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Enniskillen, Irvinestown, Lisnaskea and elsewhere in County Fermanagh are booked around installer availability.
Can you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
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.
