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.

Things to decide before you order

How long it will be empty
For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
Rules that apply 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.
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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Mansfield: questions
Which areas near Mansfield do you cover?
We can arrange work in Mansfield and in nearby Sutton-in-Ashfield (3 miles), Hucknall (7 miles) and Alfreton (8 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can screens be fitted to upper windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Accessible upper windows above flat roofs or extensions are often included.
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.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
