Rules that apply in England
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.
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.
Security grilles in Andover: questions
Do you fit security grilles in Andover?
Yes. We can arrange surveys and fitting in Andover and the SP10 area.
How much do security grilles cost in Andover?
Budget £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for retractable window grilles in Andover, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
Can you survey in Andover and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Andover, Winchester, Newbury and elsewhere in Hampshire are booked around installer availability.
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.
