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.

- Buildings between tenants
- Void council and housing association homes
- Properties awaiting sale or probate
- Development sites before works
Things to decide before you order
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
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.
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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Uppingham: questions
Can you survey in Uppingham and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Uppingham, Oakham, Corby and elsewhere in Rutland are booked around installer availability.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
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.
