What is the price of vacant property grilles and screens in Hartlepool?
Our guide range for vacant property grilles and screens in Hartlepool 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.

- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Perforated steel window screens
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames

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 Hartlepool: questions
Do you cover Peterlee as well as Hartlepool?
Yes. As well as Hartlepool, we can arrange surveys in nearby Peterlee, Billingham and Middlesbrough, and elsewhere in Durham.
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.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
Can you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
