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.

Rules that apply 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.
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.

Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.

Yes, where they can be reached safely. Accessible upper windows above flat roofs or extensions are often included.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
