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.
Choices you can make
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames

Getting the right steel screen for your building
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
What the rules say 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 Southall: questions
Can you survey in Southall and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Southall, Greenford, Heston and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
