Service 05 — Plant Screens
Plant Screens for Rooftop and Ground-Level Plant
We design, fabricate and install plant screens that hide rooftop and ground-level plant on residential and commercial buildings. They are visual screens only and do not reduce noise.
What we do
- Vertical bar screens in steel or aluminium
- Aluminium bar screens
- Horizontal louvre screens
- Access doors and gates for maintenance
- Support frames and roof plant steelwork
Designed for the roof
Each screen is designed for wind loads, with fixings agreed with the structural engineer and roofer. We agree the free area with the mechanical designer so air still reaches the plant.

Frequently asked questions
Do your plant screens reduce noise?
No. Our screens are visual only, and any noise reduction needs a specialist acoustic system designed by others.
How are rooftop plant screens fixed?
Depending on the roof, on posts tied into the structure, on a steel frame or ballasted. We agree the method with the structural engineer and roofer to protect the waterproofing.
Why do planning conditions ask for plant screening?
Councils often require plant to be screened to reduce its visual impact on the street and neighbours. The screen design is usually submitted to discharge the condition.
