Planning and safety in Scotland

Scotland

Bedroom and escape windows

In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Grilles across exits in business premises

In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Which towns in Argyll and Bute do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Argyll and Bute, including Campbeltown, Dunoon, Helensburgh and Oban. Island and remote addresses are arranged individually.

Can a key-only grille be converted to quick release?

Often, yes, by fitting a lock with a keyless internal release. We check the grille first.

On a grille that is otherwise sound, a higher-security cylinder is an inexpensive way to raise resistance to lock attack.
