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 Bicester and nearby

Bicester is about 11 miles from Oxford, the main centre for Oxfordshire. We can survey and fit across the OX26 district and in nearby places such as Oxford and Banbury.

Oxfordshire includes Oxford's listed college and city-centre buildings, Cotswold-stone towns such as Witney, and growing towns like Bicester and Didcot.

This type of grille suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

Appearance

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

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

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 Bicester: questions

Can you survey in Bicester and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Bicester, Oxford, Banbury and elsewhere in Oxfordshire are booked around installer availability.

Can fixed grilles be removed later?

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

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 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.
