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.

Getting the right bespoke grille for your building
Consents
Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent; bespoke designs are often how consent is won.
Lead time
Bespoke grilles take longer than standard ones because each is drawn and made individually.
What the rules say 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 Swindon: questions
Can you survey in Swindon and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Swindon, Calne, Cirencester and elsewhere in Wiltshire are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
