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

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 you can specify
- No lock to maintain
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
- Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
- Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations

Greater Glasgow is known for sandstone tenements with ground-floor shops, Victorian city-centre buildings and Inverclyde's riverside towns.

- Commercial back elevations
- Outbuildings and workshops
- Basement and cellar windows
- Toilet and utility windows
Getting the right fixed grille for your building
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.
What the rules say 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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Greenock: questions
Can you survey in Greenock and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Greenock, Helensburgh, Dunoon and elsewhere in Glasgow and Clyde are booked around installer availability.
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.
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 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.
