Vacant property grilles and screens in Hazel Grove: what will it cost?
As a guide, vacant property grilles and screens in Hazel Grove cost £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Getting the right steel screen for your building

For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
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 Hazel Grove: questions
Do you cover Stockport as well as Hazel Grove?
Yes. As well as Hazel Grove, we can arrange surveys in nearby Stockport, Cheadle Hulme and Hyde, and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
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 you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
