Vacant property grilles and screens in Tottenham: what will it cost?

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
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Perforated steel window screens
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Light and ventilation through perforations

Getting the right steel screen for your building
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.
What the rules say in 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.
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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Tottenham: questions
Do you cover Edmonton as well as Tottenham?
Yes. As well as Tottenham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Edmonton, Wood Green and Walthamstow, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
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.
