- Any RAL colour, galvanised or both

Fitting in Dover and nearby
Dover is about 36 miles from Maidstone, the main centre for Kent. We can survey and fit across the CT16 district and in nearby places such as Folkestone and Deal.
Kent ranges from Medway's Victorian terraces and Thanet's seaside towns to listed medieval centres such as Canterbury and Rochester.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Listed and period buildings
- Churches and community halls
- Oversized commercial openings
- Feature windows and atriums
Things to decide before you order
Lead time
Bespoke grilles take longer than standard ones because each is drawn and made individually.
Consents
Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent; bespoke designs are often how consent is won.
Rules that apply in 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.
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 Dover: questions
Can you survey in Dover and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Dover, Folkestone, Deal and elsewhere in Kent 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 bespoke grilles still be retractable?
Yes, within limits. Retractable grilles need straight tracks, so curved or arched parts are usually fixed.
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.
