What to think about first
Consents
Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent; bespoke designs are often how consent is won.
Design approval
We agree a drawing showing bar layout, sections and finish before anything is made.

External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local planning authority. Welsh councils' shopfront and design guidance generally favours internal, see-through security over solid external shutters.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Bespoke security grilles in Barry: questions
Can you survey in Barry and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Barry, Penarth, Cardiff and elsewhere in South Glamorgan are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
