Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
Internal or external fixing
Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use

Fitting in Carmarthen and nearby

Surveys in Carmarthen (SA31) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Llanelli (14 miles), Ammanford (15 miles) and Gorseinon (17 miles).

South-west Wales is largely rural, with stone and rendered terraces in towns such as Llanelli, Carmarthen and Haverfordwest and many holiday properties on the coast.

Where fixed window grilles and bars are most often used:

Rear storerooms and plant rooms
Basement and cellar windows
Commercial back elevations
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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local planning authority. Welsh councils' shopfront and design guidance generally favours internal, see-through security over solid external shutters.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Carmarthen: questions

Do you cover Llanelli as well as Carmarthen?

Yes. As well as Carmarthen, we can arrange surveys in nearby Llanelli, Ammanford and Gorseinon, and elsewhere in Dyfed.

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.

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.
