Fixed window grilles and bars in Liverpool

What is the price of fixed window grilles and bars in Liverpool?

As a guide, fixed window grilles and bars in Liverpool cost £234 to £714 including VAT (£195 to £595 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Choices you can make

Internal or external fixing
Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings
Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations

Fitting in Liverpool and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting across Liverpool and the L1 postcode district, and in nearby Birkenhead (2 miles), Wallasey (4 miles) and Litherland.

Merseyside has Liverpool's Georgian quarter and Victorian terraces, the Wirral's suburbs, and large high-street and dockside commercial areas.

This type of grille suits:

Rear storerooms and plant rooms
Outbuildings and workshops
Commercial back elevations
Toilet and utility windows

Questions we will ask at the survey

Inside or outside

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

Appearance

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

Planning and safety in England

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 Liverpool: questions

Do you cover Birkenhead as well as Liverpool?

Yes. As well as Liverpool, we can arrange surveys in nearby Birkenhead, Wallasey and Litherland, and elsewhere in Merseyside.

Can fixed grilles be removed later?

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

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.
