How much do bespoke security grilles cost in Dorset?
Most bespoke security grilles in Dorset fall within £474 to £3,594 including VAT (£395 to £2,995 plus VAT) per opening for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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.
What you can specify
- Hidden or discreet fixings
- Slim sections for period and listed buildings
- Design drawing agreed before fabrication
- Decorative bar patterns and scroll work
- Very large or multi-section screens
- Any RAL colour, galvanised or both

Things to decide before you order
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.
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.
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.

Bespoke security grilles in Dorset: questions
Which towns in Dorset do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Christchurch and Bridport, and in other towns across the area.
How long do bespoke grilles take?
Longer than standard grilles because each is drawn and fabricated individually. The lead time is confirmed with the quote.
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.
Can bespoke grilles still be retractable?
Yes, within limits. Retractable grilles need straight tracks, so curved or arched parts are usually fixed.
