Any RAL colour, galvanised or both
Very large or multi-section screens
Slim sections for period and listed buildings
Design drawing agreed before fabrication
Arched, curved, raked and odd-shaped grilles

Things to decide before you order

Budget

Decorative work costs more than plain bars. We can price plain and decorative options side by side.

Lead time

Bespoke grilles take longer than standard ones because each is drawn and made individually.

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

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 Colchester: questions

Can you survey in Colchester and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Colchester, Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and elsewhere in Essex 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.
