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.
Options for fixed window grilles and bars in Beckenham
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
- No lock to maintain
- Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations

Fitting in Beckenham and nearby
Beckenham is about 8 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the BR3 district and in nearby places such as Catford and Croydon.
London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Commercial back elevations
- Basement and cellar windows
- Toilet and utility windows
- Rear storerooms and plant rooms
Things to decide before you order
Finish
External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.
Appearance
On front elevations or period buildings a decorative or slimmer bar pattern may sit better than a plain grid.
Rules that apply in 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.
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.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Beckenham: questions
Can you survey in Beckenham and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Beckenham, Catford, Croydon and elsewhere in Greater London 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.
Can fixed grilles be removed later?
Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
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.
