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.

Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.

Ventilation

Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.

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.

Grilles in rented homes

Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Exeter: questions

Which areas near Exeter do you cover?

We can arrange work in Exeter and in nearby Exmouth (9 miles), Tiverton (12 miles) and Newton Abbot (14 miles). Dates depend on 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.
