Vacant property grilles and screens in Liverpool: what will it cost?
Our guide range for vacant property grilles and screens in Liverpool 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.
Choices you can make
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Perforated steel window screens
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Removal and making good at reoccupation

Getting the right steel screen for your building
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
How long it will be empty
For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
What the rules say 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.
