Fitting in Newbury and nearby
Newbury is about 16 miles from Reading, the main centre for Berkshire. We can survey and fit across the RG14 district and in nearby places such as Thatcham and Basingstoke.
Berkshire mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Reading, commuter semis along the Thames Valley and modern business parks around Slough and Bracknell.
This type of grille suits:
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Ground-floor flats
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- French doors to gardens
Questions we will ask at the survey
Curtains and blinds
Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
Planning and safety in England
Bedroom and escape windows
Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.
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.

French door grilles in Newbury: questions
Which areas near Newbury do you cover?
We can arrange work in Newbury and in nearby Thatcham (3 miles), Basingstoke (14 miles) and Didcot (15 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can French door grilles open one side only?
Yes. Each leaf runs independently, so you can open one side and leave the other closed.
Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
My French doors open inwards. Can I still have a grille?
Yes. The grille is set back from the doors so they can swing open, or fitted outside if there is no room inside.
