Vacant property grilles and screens in Shropshire: what will it cost?
Budget £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening for vacant property grilles and screens in Shropshire, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
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
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Perforated steel window screens
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames

Getting the right steel screen for your building
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
What the rules say 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.
