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.

Things to decide before you order
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
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.
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 Bushey: questions
Which areas near Bushey do you cover?
We can arrange work in Bushey and in nearby Watford (2 miles), Borehamwood (4 miles) and Harrow (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
