Vacant property grilles and screens in Archway: what will it cost?
Our guide range for vacant property grilles and screens in Archway 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.

Getting the right steel screen for your building
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
What the rules say 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 Archway: questions
Can you survey in Archway and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Archway, Holloway, Muswell Hill and elsewhere in Greater London 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.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
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.
