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

Arched, curved, raked and odd-shaped grilles
Decorative bar patterns and scroll work
Retractable, fixed, removable or hinged in bespoke shapes
Very large or multi-section screens
Hidden or discreet fixings
Design drawing agreed before fabrication

Fitting in Leicester and nearby

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.

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 Leicester: questions

Do you cover Oadby as well as Leicester?

Yes. As well as Leicester, we can arrange surveys in nearby Oadby, Wigston and Loughborough, and elsewhere in Leicestershire.

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 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.
