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

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.

- Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations
- Internal or external fixing

Fitting in Heywood and nearby
Heywood is about 8 miles from Manchester, the main centre for Greater Manchester. We can survey and fit across the OL10 district and in nearby places such as Middleton and Rochdale.
Greater Manchester is dominated by red-brick terraces and mill-town centres, with converted mills, modern city-centre flats and large retail parks.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Rear storerooms and plant rooms
- Commercial back elevations
- Outbuildings and workshops
- Toilet and utility windows
Things to decide before you order
Finish
External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.
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
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 Heywood: questions
Can you survey in Heywood and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Heywood, Middleton, Rochdale and elsewhere in Greater Manchester 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 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.
Can fixed grilles be removed later?
Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
