What is the price of vacant property grilles and screens in Shrewsbury?
As a guide, vacant property grilles and screens in Shrewsbury cost £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Perforated steel window screens

Planning and safety in England
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.
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.

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