Fitting in St Austell and nearby
St Austell is about 13 miles from Truro, the main centre for Cornwall. We can survey and fit across the PL25 district and in nearby places such as Bodmin and Truro.
Cornwall's stock is largely granite and slate cottages, terraces and holiday lets, with many seasonal properties left empty for part of the year.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Period homes with timber French doors
- French doors to gardens
- Ground-floor flats
Things to decide before you order
Curtains and blinds
Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.
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.
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.
