Fitting in Falmouth and nearby

Falmouth is about 8 miles from Truro, the main centre for Cornwall. We can survey and fit across the TR11 district and in nearby places such as Truro and Redruth.

Cornwall's stock is largely granite and slate cottages, terraces and holiday lets, with many seasonal properties left empty for part of the year.

Common openings for home security grilles:

Flats with windows on walkways or balconies
Patio, French and kitchen doors
Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
Bungalows, where every room is on the ground floor

Getting the right home grille for your building

Look

Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.

Keys

Locks can be keyed alike so one key works every grille.

What the rules say 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.

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.

Home security grilles in Falmouth: questions

Can you survey in Falmouth and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Falmouth, Truro, Redruth and elsewhere in Cornwall are booked around installer availability.

Do home security grilles look like prison bars?

Not when they are fitted inside the glass in a matching colour. Folded back, a grille is a slim stack at the side of the window.

Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?

Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.

Will grilles affect my home insurance?

Some insurers ask about security measures. Tell your insurer about any changes; they decide whether it affects your policy.
