Bespoke security grilles in Houghton-le-Spring: what will it cost?
Budget £474 to £3,594 including VAT (£395 to £2,995 plus VAT) per opening for bespoke security grilles in Houghton-le-Spring, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.
What you can specify
- Any RAL colour, galvanised or both
- Design drawing agreed before fabrication
- Decorative bar patterns and scroll work
- Retractable, fixed, removable or hinged in bespoke shapes
- Arched, curved, raked and odd-shaped grilles
- Very large or multi-section screens

Getting the right bespoke grille for your building
Budget
Decorative work costs more than plain bars. We can price plain and decorative options side by side.
Design approval
We agree a drawing showing bar layout, sections and finish before anything is made.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Bespoke security grilles in Houghton-le-Spring: questions
Can you survey in Houghton-le-Spring and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Houghton-le-Spring, Chester-le-Street, Washington and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
