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

Ventilation

Perforated screens help prevent damp in empty buildings.

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.

Vacant property grilles and screens in West Yorkshire: questions

Which towns in West Yorkshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in West Yorkshire, including Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield and Halifax, and in other towns across the area.

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.

Are screens better than boarding?

Steel screens are stronger, harder to remove, let light in and generally look less neglected than timber boards.
