Fitting in High Wycombe and nearby
High Wycombe is about 29 miles from Milton Keynes, the main centre for Buckinghamshire. We can survey and fit across the HP13 district and in nearby places such as Amersham and Maidenhead.
Buckinghamshire combines Milton Keynes' modern estates and grid-road business units with older market towns such as Aylesbury, Amersham and High Wycombe.
Where French door grilles are most often used:
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- French doors to gardens
- Period homes with timber French doors
- Ground-floor flats
What to think about first
One side or both
A centre-meeting pair lets you open one side for everyday use.
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
Consents and safety: 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.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

French door grilles in High Wycombe: questions
Can you survey in High Wycombe and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in High Wycombe, Amersham, Maidenhead and elsewhere in Buckinghamshire are booked around installer availability.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
Will the grille match my doors?
We powder-coat grilles in white, black, anthracite or a RAL colour close to your frames.
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.
