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.
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.

Which towns in East Riding of Yorkshire do you cover?

How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
My French doors open inwards. Can I still have a grille?

Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
