What is the price of vacant property grilles and screens in Christchurch?
Budget £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening for vacant property grilles and screens in Christchurch, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
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
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Anti-tamper fixings
Fitting in Christchurch and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Christchurch and across the BH23 postcode district, as well as in nearby Bournemouth (4 miles) and New Milton (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Dorset combines large suburban areas around Bournemouth and Poole with stone-built market towns and conservation-area high streets such as Dorchester and Bridport.
This type of grille suits:
- Properties awaiting sale or probate
- Development sites before works
- Buildings between tenants
- Void council and housing association homes
Questions we will ask at the survey
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
How long it will be empty
For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
Planning and safety in England
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.
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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Christchurch: questions
Can you survey in Christchurch and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Christchurch, Bournemouth, New Milton and elsewhere in Dorset 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.
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.
