  • Replacement cylinders and lock bodies
  • Additional shoot bolts top and bottom
  • Lock work on most grille makes

Visits in Witham and nearby

Witham is about 18 miles from Southend-on-Sea, the main centre for Essex. We can arrange visits across the CM8 district and in nearby places such as Maldon and Braintree.

Essex ranges from Victorian terraces in Southend and Colchester to new towns such as Harlow and Basildon and large commuter estates near London.

This work suits:

  • Worn, stiff or seized locks
  • Bedroom grilles needing a keyless release
  • New occupants with unknown key holders
  • Lost or stolen keys

Before the visit

Keyed alike

One key for all grilles is convenient for homes and small shops.

Escape windows

Convert key-only grilles on escape windows to a keyless internal release.

Planning and safety in England

England

Grilles in rented homes

Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

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.
