Fixed window grilles and bars in Eccles: 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.

Getting the right fixed grille for your building
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.
Finish
External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.
What the rules say in England
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.
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 Eccles: questions
Do you cover Swinton as well as Eccles?
Yes. As well as Eccles, we can arrange surveys in nearby Swinton, Salford and Stretford, and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
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 grilles be removed later?
Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
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.
