Fitting in Ellesmere Port and nearby
Ellesmere Port is about 15 miles from Warrington, the main centre for Cheshire. We can survey and fit across the CH65 district and in nearby places such as Chester and Halewood.
Cheshire has half-timbered and listed buildings in central Chester, Victorian terraces in Crewe and Warrington, and large modern estates across the county.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- French doors to gardens
- Ground-floor flats
- Dining rooms and kitchens
Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply 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 Ellesmere Port: questions
Do you cover Chester as well as Ellesmere Port?
Yes. As well as Ellesmere Port, we can arrange surveys in nearby Chester, Halewood and Bebington, and elsewhere in Cheshire.
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.
Can French door grilles open one side only?
Yes. Each leaf runs independently, so you can open one side and leave the other closed.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
