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 Oakham and nearby

We can arrange fixed window grilles and bars across Oakham, the main centre for Rutland, and in nearby towns including Uppingham, Melton Mowbray and Stamford.

Rutland is England's smallest county, with stone-built market towns at Oakham and Uppingham and many listed and conservation-area buildings.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Rear storerooms and plant rooms
Toilet and utility windows
Outbuildings and workshops
Basement and cellar windows

Things to decide before you order

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.

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

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 Oakham: questions

Which areas near Oakham do you cover?

We can arrange work in Oakham and in nearby Uppingham (6 miles), Melton Mowbray (9 miles) and Stamford (10 miles). Dates depend on 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.

Can fixed grilles be removed later?

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

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.
