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.

Fitting in Cheltenham and nearby
Cheltenham is about 7 miles from Gloucester, the main centre for Gloucestershire. We can survey and fit across the GL50 district and in nearby places such as Tewkesbury and Gloucester.
Gloucestershire mixes Cotswold stone towns and villages, Regency terraces in Cheltenham, and the commercial and retail centres of Gloucester and Yate.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Development sites before works
- Properties awaiting sale or probate
- Buildings between tenants
- Empty shops and offices
Things to decide before you order
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
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.
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 Cheltenham: questions
Can you survey in Cheltenham and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Gloucester and elsewhere in Gloucestershire are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
