Steel Screens and Void Sealing
Perforated steel screens and door sealing to secure empty buildings against forced entry, ground-floor break-ins and squatter access — fitted, removed and reused under one AOG account.
Perforated steel, fitted fast. Boarded properties, secured properly.
Steel screens and sealing, run inside the AOG operating model.
Steel screens and sealing sits inside the same AOG account as security, cleaning and FM. One project manager owns the void. One control room holds the keys, monitoring and inspection records. One weekly report covers every visit, incident and finished work order.
You take the service on its own, or alongside the rest of the vacant property division. The covenant, the compliance ledger and the point of contact stay the same either way.
Perforated steel screens and door sealing for empty residential and commercial properties. Full forced-entry resistance, sightlines preserved inside, and a reusable inventory tracked and redeployed by AOG across the estate.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Why use steel screens instead of timber boarding?
Perforated steel screens preserve sightlines from inside the property while giving full forced-entry resistance from outside, and unlike timber boarding they are part of a reusable inventory that AOG tracks and redeploys rather than scrapping after one use.
Can steel screens be fitted without damaging the property?
Screens are fitted to door and window apertures using a method designed for removal and reinstatement, so the property can be returned to a lettable or workable condition when the screens come off.
How quickly can screens be installed?
Screens can typically be fitted within hours of handover rather than days, which matters for reducing the window between a property becoming vacant and being secured.
Are the screens removed when the property is ready for re-let?
Yes. Screens are removed ahead of works or relet, with a written handover to the contractor or housing officer confirming the property has been returned in a workable condition.
What photographic evidence is supplied after installation?
Before, during and after photographs are logged against the property in the AOG ledger, giving an auditable record for insurers and housing officers.
Can doors and other vulnerable openings be secured at the same time?
Yes. Door sealing and reinforcement, letterbox blanking and plant covers can all be fitted alongside steel screens as part of the same visit.
