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 Brixton
- Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
- No lock to maintain
- Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- Internal or external fixing
- Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
Fitting in Brixton and nearby
Brixton is about 3 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the SW2 district and in nearby places such as Peckham and Pimlico.
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
- Toilet and utility windows
- Basement and cellar windows
- Rear storerooms and plant rooms
Things to decide before you order
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.
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 England
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.
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 Brixton: questions
Can you survey in Brixton and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Brixton, Peckham, Pimlico and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
