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.
Choices you can make
- Perforated steel window screens
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames

Things to decide before you order

For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
Rules that apply 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.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Gloucestershire: questions
Which towns in Gloucestershire do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Gloucestershire, including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Mangotsfield and Yate, and in other towns across the area.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
Can screens be fitted to upper windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Accessible upper windows above flat roofs or extensions are often included.
