What to think about first
Lead time
Bespoke grilles take longer than standard ones because each is drawn and made individually.
Budget
Decorative work costs more than plain bars. We can price plain and decorative options side by side.
Consents and safety: 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 Lancashire: questions
Which towns in Lancashire do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Lancashire, including Preston, Burnley, Blackburn, Blackpool and Morecambe, 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 bespoke grilles still be retractable?
Yes, within limits. Retractable grilles need straight tracks, so curved or arched parts are usually fixed.
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.
