Bespoke security grilles in Plymouth

What is the price of bespoke security grilles in Plymouth?

Our guide range for bespoke security grilles in Plymouth is £474 to £3,594 including VAT (£395 to £2,995 plus VAT) per opening, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

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

Slim sections for period and listed buildings
Design drawing agreed before fabrication
Very large or multi-section screens
Hidden or discreet fixings
Arched, curved, raked and odd-shaped grilles
Decorative bar patterns and scroll work

Fitting in Plymouth and nearby

Surveys in Plymouth (PL1) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Paignton (26 miles) and Newton Abbot (26 miles).

Devon runs from post-war Plymouth and Exeter city centres to Victorian seaside terraces in Torbay and thatched and stone cottages inland.

This type of grille suits:

Arched and Gothic windows
Churches and community halls
Listed and period buildings
Oversized commercial openings

Questions we will ask at the survey

Design approval

We agree a drawing showing bar layout, sections and finish before anything is made.

Consents

Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent; bespoke designs are often how consent is won.

Planning and safety in England

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.

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.

Bespoke security grilles in Plymouth: questions

Can you survey in Plymouth and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Plymouth, Paignton, Newton Abbot and elsewhere in Devon are booked around installer availability.

Can a grille be designed for a listed building?

Yes. Slim sections, matched colours and minimal fixings help, but listed building consent is still needed for works that affect the building's character.

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 bespoke grilles still be retractable?

Yes, within limits. Retractable grilles need straight tracks, so curved or arched parts are usually fixed.
