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 Urmston and nearby

Urmston is about 5 miles from Manchester, the main centre for Greater Manchester. We can survey and fit across the M41 district and in nearby places such as Stretford and Sale.

Greater Manchester is dominated by red-brick terraces and mill-town centres, with converted mills, modern city-centre flats and large retail parks.

This type of grille suits:

Basement and cellar windows
Rear storerooms and plant rooms
Outbuildings and workshops
Commercial back elevations

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

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.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Urmston: questions

Can you survey in Urmston and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Urmston, Stretford, Sale and elsewhere in Greater Manchester 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.

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.
