What to think about first
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
Consents and safety: Scotland
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.
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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Blairgowrie: questions
Do you cover Perth as well as Blairgowrie?
Yes. As well as Blairgowrie, we can arrange surveys in nearby Perth, Dundee and Pitlochry, and elsewhere in Perth and Kinross.
Can you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
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.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
