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 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.
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 Somerset: questions
Do you fit security grilles across Somerset?
We can arrange work anywhere in Somerset, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton, Yeovil and Bridgwater, and in other towns across the area.
How much do security grilles cost in Somerset?
As a guide, retractable window grilles cost £345 to £795 plus VAT (£414 to £954 inc VAT), door gates £595 to £1,295 plus VAT (£714 to £1,554 inc VAT) and shopfronts £1,195 to £3,495 plus VAT (£1,434 to £4,194 inc VAT), supplied and fitted. Fixed prices follow a free survey.
Do grilles need planning permission in Somerset?
Usually not for grilles fitted inside the glass. External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission, and listed buildings may need listed building consent. The rules section on this page has the detail.
How long does fitting take?
Most single grilles take one to two hours; a whole house or shopfront may take a day.
I have lost my grille key. What now?
We can open and replace the lock, keyed alike with your other grilles if you wish.
