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.
Choices you can make
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Perforated steel window screens
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units

Getting the right steel screen for your building
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
How long it will be empty
For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Lincoln: questions
Can you survey in Lincoln and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Lincoln, Gainsborough, Newark-on-Trent and elsewhere in Lincolnshire are booked around installer availability.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
Can you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
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.
