Fitting in Camborne and nearby
Camborne is about 11 miles from Truro, the main centre for Cornwall. We can survey and fit across the TR14 district and in nearby places such as Redruth and Falmouth.
Cornwall's stock is largely granite and slate cottages, terraces and holiday lets, with many seasonal properties left empty for part of the year.
Where French door grilles are most often used:
- French doors to gardens
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- Period homes with timber French doors
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
What to think about first
Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
Consents and safety: 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.
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.
