Fixed window grilles and bars in Wokingham

Fixed window grilles and bars in Wokingham: what will it cost?

Most fixed window grilles and bars in Wokingham fall within £234 to £714 including VAT (£195 to £595 plus VAT) per window for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.

A fixed window grille is a welded steel frame of bars bolted permanently over or inside a window. It has no moving parts and no lock to pick, which makes it the simplest and most economical grille for openings that are never used for access or escape.

Getting the right fixed grille for your building

Inside or outside

Inside fixing keeps the grille away from weather and tampering. Outside fixing suits windows with no internal access or depth.

Appearance

On front elevations or period buildings a decorative or slimmer bar pattern may sit better than a plain grid.

What the rules say in England

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.

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.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Wokingham: questions

Do you cover Crowthorne as well as Wokingham?

Yes. As well as Wokingham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Crowthorne, Bracknell and Yateley, and elsewhere in Berkshire.

Can fixed bars go on a bedroom window?

Generally no. Bedroom and upstairs habitable room windows often need to work as escape windows, so they should have an openable grille with a keyless internal release.

How are fixed grilles attached?

With anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into solid masonry, or to a steel subframe where the wall is weak. Fixings are positioned so they cannot be reached from outside.

Will fixed bars rust?

Galvanised and powder-coated steel is designed for years of outdoor use. Chips in the coating should be touched up to keep the protection intact.
