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.

Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.

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 Finchley: questions

Do you cover Muswell Hill as well as Finchley?

Yes. As well as Finchley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Muswell Hill, Cricklewood and Kilburn, and elsewhere in Greater London.

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.

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.
