How much do bespoke security grilles cost in Southampton?

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

Slim sections for period and listed buildings
Retractable, fixed, removable or hinged in bespoke shapes
Very large or multi-section screens
Arched, curved, raked and odd-shaped grilles
Decorative bar patterns and scroll work
Design drawing agreed before fabrication

Fitting in Southampton and nearby

We can arrange bespoke security grilles across Southampton, the main centre for Hampshire, and in nearby towns including Hythe, Totton and Eastleigh.

Hampshire runs from Portsmouth's dense Victorian terraces and Southampton's post-war centre to market towns such as Winchester with large conservation areas.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Oversized commercial openings
Listed and period buildings
Arched and Gothic windows
Feature windows and atriums

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

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 Southampton: questions

Which areas near Southampton do you cover?

We can arrange work in Southampton and in nearby Hythe (3 miles), Totton (4 miles) and Eastleigh (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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 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.
