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.
What goes into a steel screen
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Perforated steel window screens
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames

What to think about first
How long it will be empty
For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
Consents and safety: 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 Stratford: questions
Which areas near Stratford do you cover?
We can arrange work in Stratford and in nearby Bow (1 mile), Canning Town (2 miles) and Canary Wharf (2 miles). Dates depend on 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.
