How much should I budget for bespoke security grilles in County Down?
As a guide, bespoke security grilles in County Down cost £474 to £3,594 including VAT (£395 to £2,995 plus VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
A bespoke security grille is designed and fabricated for one particular opening, such as an arched window, a curved bay, a very large screen or a period building where a standard grille would look wrong. It is measured on site, drawn up and made to suit.
Choices you can make
- Very large or multi-section screens
- Any RAL colour, galvanised or both
- Hidden or discreet fixings
- Retractable, fixed, removable or hinged in bespoke shapes
- Design drawing agreed before fabrication
- Decorative bar patterns and scroll work

What to think about first
Consents
Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent; bespoke designs are often how consent is won.
Budget
Decorative work costs more than plain bars. We can price plain and decorative options side by side.
Consents and safety: Northern Ireland
Bedroom and escape windows
Fire safety in new building work in Northern Ireland is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E. Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, with the council deciding and the Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advising. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes.

Bespoke security grilles in County Down: questions
Which towns in County Down do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in County Down, including Banbridge, Bangor, Comber, Downpatrick and Holywood, and in other towns across the area.
Can bespoke grilles still be retractable?
Yes, within limits. Retractable grilles need straight tracks, so curved or arched parts are usually fixed.
Can you copy an existing grille design?
We can make a grille in a similar style for a matching window. We do not copy other firms' registered designs.
Can you make a grille for an arched window?
Yes. Fixed and removable grilles can follow the arch exactly, and retractable grilles can be fitted below the springing line with a fixed arched panel above.
