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.

Choices you can make

Removal and making good at reoccupation
Steel security door with a key or code lock
Supply-and-fit for purchase
Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
Anti-tamper fixings

Fitting in Newtown and nearby

We can arrange vacant property grilles and screens across Newtown, the main centre for Powys, and in nearby towns including Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells and Aberystwyth.

Where vacant property grilles and screens are most often used:

Development sites before works
Empty shops and offices
Void council and housing association homes
Properties awaiting sale or probate

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.

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local planning authority. Welsh councils' shopfront and design guidance generally favours internal, see-through security over solid external shutters.

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 Newtown: questions

Which areas near Newtown do you cover?

We can arrange work in Newtown and in nearby Welshpool (12 miles), Llandrindod Wells (19 miles) and Aberystwyth (33 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.
