As a guide, fixed window grilles and bars in Llantwit Major 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
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
- Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
- Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
- Decorative bar patterns available for visible elevations

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 Wales
Bedroom and escape windows
Wales has its own Approved Documents under the Building Regulations. Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for dwellings broadly in line with England's, including minimum opening sizes. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local planning authority. Welsh councils' shopfront and design guidance generally favours internal, see-through security over solid external shutters.

Fixed window grilles and bars in Llantwit Major: questions
Can you survey in Llantwit Major and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Llantwit Major, Bridgend, Barry and elsewhere in South Glamorgan are booked around installer availability.
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.
Can fixed grilles be removed later?
Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
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.
