How much do vacant property grilles and screens cost in Wellington?
Most vacant property grilles and screens in Wellington fall within £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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.
What you can specify
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units

Things to decide before you order
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
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.
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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Wellington: questions
Which areas near Wellington do you cover?
We can arrange work in Wellington and in nearby Telford (3 miles), Shrewsbury (10 miles) and Bridgnorth (12 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
