Finish
External grilles last longest when hot-dip galvanised and then powder-coated.
Consents and safety: England
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 Kenilworth: questions
Which areas near Kenilworth do you cover?
We can arrange work in Kenilworth and in nearby Warwick (5 miles), Coventry (5 miles) and Leamington Spa (5 miles). Dates depend on 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.
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.
