Budget £234 to £714 including VAT (£195 to £595 plus VAT) per window for fixed window grilles and bars in Louth, 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.

- No lock to maintain
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid

Fitting in Louth and nearby
Louth is about 24 miles from Lincoln, the main centre for Lincolnshire. We can survey and fit across the LN11 district and in nearby places such as Cleethorpes and Grimsby.
Lincolnshire combines the historic hilltop core of Lincoln with Grimsby and Scunthorpe's industrial terraces and many small market and coastal towns.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Toilet and utility windows
- Basement and cellar windows
- Outbuildings and workshops
- Rear storerooms and plant rooms
Things to decide before you order
Finish
External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.
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.
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.
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 Louth: questions
Do you cover Cleethorpes as well as Louth?
Yes. As well as Louth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Cleethorpes, Grimsby and Skegness, and elsewhere in Lincolnshire.
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.
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.
