How much should I budget for fixed window grilles and bars in Banstead?

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 goes into a fixed grille
- Galvanised, powder-coated or both for external use
- Made to measure for arched and odd-shaped openings
- Welded steel frame with vertical bars or a grid
- No lock to maintain
- Bar spacing chosen to stop entry while keeping light
- Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry

What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: 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 Banstead: questions
Do you cover Sutton as well as Banstead?
Yes. As well as Banstead, we can arrange surveys in nearby Sutton, Ewell and Epsom, and elsewhere in Surrey.
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.
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.
