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.
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 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.
Security grilles in Chalk Farm: questions
Do you fit security grilles in Chalk Farm?
Yes. We can arrange surveys and fitting in Chalk Farm and the NW3 area.
How much do security grilles cost in Chalk Farm?
Budget £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for retractable window grilles in Chalk Farm, 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 Camden Town as well as Chalk Farm?
Yes. As well as Chalk Farm, we can arrange surveys in nearby Camden Town, Holloway and Archway, 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.

Retractable for openings used every day, fixed for windows that never open and are not needed for escape, removable for occasional use, hinged or bi-fold where there is no room for a folded stack.
