Vacant property grilles and screens in Wallasey: what will it cost?
Budget £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening for vacant property grilles and screens in Wallasey, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
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.

- Anti-tamper fixings
- Supply-and-fit for purchase

Getting the right steel screen for your building
How long it will be empty
For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
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.
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 Wallasey: questions
Can you survey in Wallasey and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Wallasey, Birkenhead, Bootle and elsewhere in Merseyside are booked around installer availability.
Can you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
