Visits in Whitby and nearby

Whitby is about 41 miles from York, the main centre for North Yorkshire. We can arrange visits across the YO21 district and in nearby places such as Scarborough and Redcar.

North Yorkshire runs from York's walled historic centre and Harrogate's Victorian stone to Teesside's terraces and the Dales' stone villages.

This work suits:

Lost or stolen keys
New occupants with unknown key holders
Sites wanting one key for every grille
Worn, stiff or seized locks

Before the visit

Keyed alike

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

Key control

Restricted key systems limit who can have copies cut.

Planning and safety 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 across exits in business premises

In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
