- Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings
- Internal or external fixing

Fitting in Cookstown and nearby
Cookstown is about 23 miles from Omagh, the main centre for County Tyrone. We can survey and fit across the BT80 district and in nearby places such as Magherafelt and Dungannon.
County Tyrone is largely rural, with market towns such as Omagh, Dungannon, Strabane and Cookstown.
Where fixed window grilles and bars are most often used:
- Basement and cellar windows
- Commercial back elevations
- Rear storerooms and plant rooms
- Outbuildings and workshops
What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: Northern Ireland
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, with the council deciding and the Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advising. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes.
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.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Cookstown: questions
Do you cover Magherafelt as well as Cookstown?
Yes. As well as Cookstown, we can arrange surveys in nearby Magherafelt, Dungannon and Portadown, and elsewhere in County Tyrone.
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.
Can fixed grilles be removed later?
Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
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.
