What is the price of vacant property grilles and screens in Inverness?
Most vacant property grilles and screens in Inverness fall within £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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.
What goes into a steel screen
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Supply-and-fit for purchase
Fitting in Inverness and nearby
Surveys in Inverness (IV2) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Dingwall (11 miles) and Nairn (15 miles).

This type of grille suits:
- Buildings between tenants
- Properties awaiting sale or probate
- Empty shops and offices
- Development sites before works
Questions we will ask at the survey

Planning and safety in Scotland
Grilles in rented homes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.

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.

Yes, where they can be reached safely. Accessible upper windows above flat roofs or extensions are often included.
Can you secure several empty properties?
