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

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.

Fitting in Gloucester and nearby

Surveys in Gloucester (GL1) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Cheltenham (7 miles) and Stroud (8 miles).

Gloucestershire mixes Cotswold stone towns and villages, Regency terraces in Cheltenham, and the commercial and retail centres of Gloucester and Yate.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Basement and cellar windows
Commercial back elevations
Outbuildings and workshops
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.

Never needed for escape

A fixed grille should only go on a window that is not needed as an escape route. Bedrooms and upstairs habitable rooms usually need an openable alternative.

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Gloucester: questions

Can you survey in Gloucester and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud and elsewhere in Gloucestershire are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
