How much should I budget for bespoke security grilles in Shrewsbury?
As a guide, bespoke security grilles in Shrewsbury cost £474 to £3,594 including VAT (£395 to £2,995 plus VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
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.
Choices you can make
- Any RAL colour, galvanised or both
- Hidden or discreet fixings
- Very large or multi-section screens
- Retractable, fixed, removable or hinged in bespoke shapes
- Design drawing agreed before fabrication
- Decorative bar patterns and scroll work

What to think about first
Budget
Decorative work costs more than plain bars. We can price plain and decorative options side by side.
Lead time
Bespoke grilles take longer than standard ones because each is drawn and made individually.
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.
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 Shrewsbury: questions
Can you survey in Shrewsbury and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Shrewsbury, Wellington, Telford and elsewhere in Shropshire 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 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.
