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.

- Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
- No lock to maintain

Fitting in Bishop Auckland and nearby
Bishop Auckland is about 9 miles from Durham, the main centre for Durham. We can survey and fit across the DL14 district and in nearby places such as Newton Aycliffe and Durham.
County Durham's stock is dominated by brick terraces in former colliery towns, alongside the listed historic core of Durham city and Teesside's commercial centres.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Rear storerooms and plant rooms
- Toilet and utility windows
- Basement and cellar windows
- Outbuildings and workshops
Things to decide before you order
Appearance
On front elevations or period buildings a decorative or slimmer bar pattern may sit better than a plain grid.
Finish
External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.
Rules that apply 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.
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 Bishop Auckland: questions
Do you cover Newton Aycliffe as well as Bishop Auckland?
Yes. As well as Bishop Auckland, we can arrange surveys in nearby Newton Aycliffe, Durham and Darlington, and elsewhere in Durham.
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.
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.
