Fitting in Stafford and nearby
Stafford is about 14 miles from Stoke-on-Trent, the main centre for Staffordshire. We can survey and fit across the ST16 district and in nearby places such as Rugeley and Cannock.
Staffordshire mixes the Potteries' Victorian terraces and former works buildings with market towns such as Stafford, Lichfield and Burton.
Where bespoke security grilles are most often used:
- Oversized commercial openings
- Arched and Gothic windows
- Listed and period buildings
- Feature windows and atriums
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 Stafford: questions
Do you cover Rugeley as well as Stafford?
Yes. As well as Stafford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Rugeley, Cannock and Burntwood, and elsewhere in Staffordshire.
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 bespoke grilles still be retractable?
Yes, within limits. Retractable grilles need straight tracks, so curved or arched parts are usually fixed.
