What is the price of vacant property grilles and screens in Hawick?
Our guide range for vacant property grilles and screens in Hawick is £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Steel security door with a key or code lock

Planning and safety in Scotland
Grilles in rented homes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.
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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Hawick: questions
Can you survey in Hawick and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Hawick, Galashiels, Kelso and elsewhere in Scottish Borders 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.
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.
Can you secure several empty properties?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
