Vacant property grilles and screens in Hereford

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

Budget £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening for vacant property grilles and screens in Hereford, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.

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.

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 Hereford: questions

Do you cover Ross-on-Wye as well as Hereford?

Yes. As well as Hereford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Malvern, and elsewhere in Herefordshire.

Do screens damage the building?

Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.

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.
