Perforated steel screens let light and air in while keeping people out, and come down cleanly when the building is reoccupied.

Getting the right steel screen for your building
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
What the rules say in Wales
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.
Grilles in rented homes
Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, landlords must keep dwellings fit for human habitation, which takes fire hazards into account. Grilles over windows a contract-holder may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Swansea: questions
Do you cover Gorseinon as well as Swansea?
Yes. As well as Swansea, we can arrange surveys in nearby Gorseinon, Port Talbot and Neath, and elsewhere in West Glamorgan.
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.
Can screens be fitted to upper windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Accessible upper windows above flat roofs or extensions are often included.
Do screens damage the building?
Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
