Fixed window grilles and bars in Coleraine

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

Budget £234 to £714 including VAT (£195 to £595 plus VAT) per window for fixed window grilles and bars in Coleraine, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.

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

Never needed for escape

A fixed grille should only go on a window that is not needed as an escape route. Bedrooms and upstairs habitable rooms usually need an openable alternative.

Finish

External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.

What the rules say in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland

Bedroom and escape windows

Fire safety in new building work in Northern Ireland is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E. Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

External grilles and planning

Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the eleven councils. External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission, and councils generally prefer internal, see-through security in town centres.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Coleraine: questions

Can you survey in Coleraine and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Coleraine, Ballymoney, Limavady and elsewhere in County Londonderry are booked around installer availability.

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.

Do fixed grilles need planning permission?

Internal fixed grilles usually do not. External grilles on front elevations, listed buildings or in conservation areas may need consent, so we check before ordering.

Can fixed grilles be removed later?

Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
