How much do fixed window grilles and bars cost in Dalkeith?

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.
What goes into a fixed grille
- Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations
- No lock to maintain
- Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
- Internal or external fixing
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light

Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Toilet and utility windows
- Basement and cellar windows
- Commercial back elevations
- Rear storerooms and plant rooms
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.
Inside or outside
Inside fixing keeps the grille away from weather and tampering. Outside fixing suits windows with no internal access or depth.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Bedroom and escape windows
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). 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
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Dalkeith: questions
Do you cover Musselburgh as well as Dalkeith?
Yes. As well as Dalkeith, we can arrange surveys in nearby Musselburgh, Edinburgh and Penicuik, and elsewhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
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.
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.
Can fixed grilles be removed later?
Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
