What is the price of vacant property grilles and screens in Merseyside?
Our guide range for vacant property grilles and screens in Merseyside is £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.

- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Supply-and-fit for purchase

Questions we will ask at the survey
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
Planning and safety in England
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 Merseyside: questions
Which towns in Merseyside do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Merseyside, including Liverpool, Birkenhead, St Helens, Southport and Wallasey, and in other towns across the area.
Can you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
