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 to think about first
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
Consents and safety: 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 Washington: questions
Can you survey in Washington and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Washington, Chester-le-Street, Felling and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear 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.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
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.
