Fitting in Torquay and nearby
Torquay is about 28 miles from Plymouth, the main centre for Devon. We can survey and fit across the TQ1 district and in nearby places such as Paignton and Newton Abbot.
Devon runs from post-war Plymouth and Exeter city centres to Victorian seaside terraces in Torbay and thatched and stone cottages inland.
This type of grille suits:
- Loading doors and goods-in
- Garden room and orangery openings
- Restaurant and bar frontages
- Wide internal openings
Questions we will ask at the survey
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
Planning and safety in England
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
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.
