Rules that apply in England
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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.
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.
Security grilles in West Midlands: questions

We can arrange work anywhere in West Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Dudley and Walsall, and in other towns across the area.
How much do security grilles cost in West Midlands?
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 West Midlands?
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.
Inside or outside the glass?
Inside in most cases: it is protected, keeps the building looking the same and rarely needs planning permission.
How long before my grille is fitted?
Grilles are made to measure after the survey. We confirm the lead time with your quote.
