Anti-tamper bolts or resin anchors into masonry
Internal or external fixing

Fitting in Dudley and nearby

Dudley is about 8 miles from Birmingham, the main centre for West Midlands. We can survey and fit across the DY1 district and in nearby places such as Brierley Hill and Tipton.

The West Midlands is dominated by red-brick terraces and interwar semis, with dense high streets and a large stock of industrial and trade units.

This type of grille suits:

Rear storerooms and plant rooms
Outbuildings and workshops
Commercial back elevations
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.

Planning and safety in 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 Dudley: questions

Do you cover Brierley Hill as well as Dudley?

Yes. As well as Dudley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Brierley Hill, Tipton and Kingswinford, and elsewhere in West Midlands.

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 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.

Can fixed grilles be removed later?

Yes, by unbolting them from inside, though anti-tamper fixings are deliberately awkward to remove.
