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

This type of grille suits:
- Outbuildings and workshops
- Commercial back elevations
- Rear storerooms and plant rooms
- Basement and cellar windows
Questions we will ask at the survey
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.

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.
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.

Fixed window grilles and bars in South Shields: questions
Can you survey in South Shields and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in South Shields, Tynemouth, North Shields and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
