Fitting in Melton Mowbray and nearby
Melton Mowbray is about 14 miles from Leicester, the main centre for Leicestershire. We can survey and fit across the LE13 district and in nearby places such as Oakham and Loughborough.

- Ground-floor flats
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- Period homes with timber French doors
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
Questions we will ask at the survey
Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.

Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
Planning and safety 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.
