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
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Perforated steel window screens
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames

Getting the right steel screen for your building
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
What the rules say 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.
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 Godalming: questions
Can you survey in Godalming and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Godalming, Guildford, Aldershot and elsewhere in Surrey are booked around 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.
