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.

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.

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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Livingston: questions

Which areas near Livingston do you cover?

We can arrange work in Livingston and in nearby Bathgate (5 miles), Grangemouth (11 miles) and Dunfermline (12 miles). Dates depend on 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.

Can you secure several empty properties?

Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
