Rules that apply in England
Bedroom and escape windows
Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
Security grilles in Becontree: questions
Do you fit security grilles in Becontree?
Yes. We can arrange surveys and fitting in Becontree and the RM9 area.
How much do security grilles cost in Becontree?
Budget £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for retractable window grilles in Becontree, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
Do you cover Dagenham as well as Becontree?
Yes. As well as Becontree, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dagenham, Barking and Ilford, and elsewhere in Greater London.
Can grilles go on bedroom windows?
Yes, with a keyless internal release so the window still works as an escape route.
Do grilles need planning permission?
Internal grilles usually do not. External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally do, and listed buildings need consent for works affecting their character.
