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.

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.

Grilles in rented homes

Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, landlords must keep dwellings fit for human habitation, which takes fire hazards into account. Grilles over windows a contract-holder may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Welshpool: questions

Do you cover Newtown as well as Welshpool?

Yes. As well as Welshpool, we can arrange surveys in nearby Newtown, Rhosllanerchrugog and Wrexham, and elsewhere in Powys.

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.

Are screens better than boarding?

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