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 you can specify
- Perforated steel window screens
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Supply-and-fit for purchase

Questions we will ask at the survey
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
Planning and safety 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.
