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
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Light and ventilation through perforations
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Perforated steel window screens
- Supply-and-fit for purchase

West Sussex combines Crawley's new-town estates and commercial areas with coastal towns such as Worthing and historic Chichester.

- Properties awaiting sale or probate
- Buildings between tenants
- Void council and housing association homes
Things to decide before you order
Ventilation
Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
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 Chichester: questions
Can you survey in Chichester and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Chichester, Bognor Regis, Havant and elsewhere in West Sussex 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.
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.
