Fixed window grilles and bars in Leominster

Fixed window grilles and bars in Leominster: what will it cost?

Budget £234 to £714 including VAT (£195 to £595 plus VAT) per window for fixed window grilles and bars in Leominster, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.

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

Appearance

On front elevations or period buildings a decorative or slimmer bar pattern may sit better than a plain grid.

Inside or outside

Inside fixing keeps the grille away from weather and tampering. Outside fixing suits windows with no internal access or depth.

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.

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 Leominster: questions

Do you cover Ludlow as well as Leominster?

Yes. As well as Leominster, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ludlow, Hereford and Loughton, and elsewhere in Herefordshire.

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.

Can fixed grilles be removed later?

Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
