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 to think about first

Insurance

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

Access

Decide who needs access and whether a key or code lock suits them.

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 Worcester: questions

Can you survey in Worcester and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Worcester, Droitwich, Malvern and elsewhere in Worcestershire are booked around installer availability.

Do screens damage the building?

Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.

Are screens better than boarding?

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

Can you secure several empty properties?

Yes. Send the list of addresses and openings and we will price it as a schedule.
