Fitting in Kidderminster and nearby
Kidderminster is about 14 miles from Worcester, the main centre for Worcestershire. We can survey and fit across the DY10 district and in nearby places such as Stourport-on-Severn and Stourbridge.
Worcestershire combines Worcester's historic centre, Victorian Malvern, and the terraces and retail centres of Redditch and Kidderminster.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- Ground-floor flats
- French doors to gardens
Things to decide before you order
Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.
Curtains and blinds
Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
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.

French door grilles in Kidderminster: questions
Do you cover Stourport-on-Severn as well as Kidderminster?
Yes. As well as Kidderminster, we can arrange surveys in nearby Stourport-on-Severn, Stourbridge and Kingswinford, and elsewhere in Worcestershire.
My French doors open inwards. Can I still have a grille?
Yes. The grille is set back from the doors so they can swing open, or fitted outside if there is no room inside.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
