Questions we will ask at the survey
Lead time
Bespoke grilles take longer than standard ones because each is drawn and made individually.
Consents
Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent; bespoke designs are often how consent is won.
Planning and safety in England
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.
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 West Midlands: questions
Which towns in West Midlands do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in West Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Dudley and Walsall, and in other towns across the area.
Can bespoke grilles still be retractable?
Yes, within limits. Retractable grilles need straight tracks, so curved or arched parts are usually fixed.
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.
