How much do vacant property grilles and screens cost in Putney?
Budget £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening for vacant property grilles and screens in Putney, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
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.

Things to decide before you order
How long it will be empty
For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
Rules that apply 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 Putney: questions
Can you survey in Putney and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Putney, Barnes, Fulham and elsewhere in Greater London 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.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
Can you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
