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.

Getting the right steel screen for your building

Unoccupied buildings often have insurer conditions; check them before the building is left.

What the rules say in England

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.

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 Leeds: questions

Which areas near Leeds do you cover?

We can arrange work in Leeds and in nearby Morley (4 miles), Pudsey (5 miles) and Batley (7 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

Are screens better than boarding?

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