What is the price of vacant property grilles and screens in Weymouth?
Our guide range for vacant property grilles and screens in Weymouth is £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Light and ventilation through perforations
Fitting in Weymouth and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Weymouth and across the DT4 postcode district, as well as in nearby Dorchester (7 miles) and Bridport (15 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:
- Buildings between tenants
- Empty shops and offices
- Void council and housing association homes
- Properties awaiting sale or probate
Questions we will ask at the survey
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
Planning and safety in England
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 Weymouth: questions
Can you survey in Weymouth and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Weymouth, Dorchester, Bridport 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.
Can you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
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.
