Fixed window grilles and bars in West Bridgford: what will it cost?
Our guide range for fixed window grilles and bars in West Bridgford is £234 to £714 including VAT (£195 to £595 plus VAT) per window, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.

- Internal or external fixing
- Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
- Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- No lock to maintain

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.
Finish
External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.
What the rules say 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 West Bridgford: questions
Can you survey in West Bridgford and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in West Bridgford, Nottingham, Arnold and elsewhere in Nottinghamshire 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.
Will fixed bars rust?
Galvanised and powder-coated steel is designed for years of outdoor use. Chips in the coating should be touched up to keep the protection intact.
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.
