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

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.

What the rules say in England

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.

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 Catford: questions

Which areas near Catford do you cover?

We can arrange work in Catford and in nearby Blackheath (2 miles), Greenwich (2 miles) and Beckenham (3 miles). Dates depend on 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.

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.

Do screens damage the building?

Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
