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.

Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
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.
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.

Which areas near Bicester do you cover?

Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.

Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.

Yes, where they can be reached safely. Accessible upper windows above flat roofs or extensions are often included.
