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
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Perforated steel window screens
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Supply-and-fit for purchase
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Light and ventilation through perforations
Fitting in Shirley and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Shirley and across the B90 postcode district, as well as in nearby Solihull (2 miles) and Birmingham (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
The West Midlands is dominated by red-brick terraces and interwar semis, with dense high streets and a large stock of industrial and trade units.
This type of grille suits:
- Void council and housing association homes
- Empty shops and offices
- Buildings between tenants
- Properties awaiting sale or probate
Questions we will ask at the survey
How long it will be empty
For short voids, screens are quick to put up and take down.
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.

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.
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.
