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.

What you can specify

Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings
Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
Internal or external fixing

Fitting in Wellington and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Wellington and across the TF1 postcode district, as well as in nearby Telford (3 miles) and Shrewsbury (10 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Shropshire mixes Telford's modern estates and business units with timber-framed and listed centres in Shrewsbury and Ludlow.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

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

Things to decide before you order

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.

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 Wellington: questions

Can you survey in Wellington and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Wellington, Telford, Shrewsbury and elsewhere in Shropshire 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.

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.

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.
