Fitting in Hereford and nearby

We can arrange French door grilles across Hereford, the main centre for Herefordshire, and in nearby towns including Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Malvern.

Herefordshire is largely rural, with black-and-white timber-framed buildings, stone farmhouses and small market-town high streets such as Hereford and Leominster.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

French doors to gardens
Ground-floor flats
Dining rooms and kitchens
Period homes with timber French doors

Things to decide before you order

Upper floors

A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.

One side or both

A centre-meeting pair lets you open one side for everyday use.

Rules that apply in England

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.
