Vacant property grilles and screens in Bradford: what will it cost?
As a guide, vacant property grilles and screens in Bradford cost £145 to £395 plus VAT (£174 to £474 inc VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
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
- Fixing to brick, block, timber or uPVC frames
- Steel security door with a key or code lock
- Removal and making good at reoccupation
- Anti-tamper fixings
- Schedules for portfolios of empty units
- Light and ventilation through perforations

Getting the right steel screen for your building
Access
Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.
Insurance
Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.
