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
- Perforated steel window screens
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Removal and making good at reoccupation

- Development sites before works
- Empty shops and offices
- Buildings between tenants
- Properties awaiting sale or probate
Things to decide before you order
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
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.
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 Coventry: questions
Can you survey in Coventry and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Coventry, Kenilworth, Bedworth and elsewhere in West Midlands are booked around installer availability.
Are screens better than boarding?
Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
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.
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.
