Questions we will ask at the survey
Consents
Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent; bespoke designs are often how consent is won.
Lead time
Bespoke grilles take longer than standard ones because each is drawn and made individually.
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.
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.

Bespoke security grilles in Central London: questions
Which areas near Central London do you cover?
We can arrange work in Central London and in nearby Pimlico (1 mile), Islington (2 miles) and Camden Town (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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 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.
