This type of grille suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

Escape from bedrooms

Grilles over bedroom and upstairs windows need a release that opens from inside without a key.

Start with the most hidden and easiest openings, usually at the back and side.

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.

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 Shaftesbury: questions

Do you cover Warminster as well as Shaftesbury?

Yes. As well as Shaftesbury, we can arrange surveys in nearby Warminster, Frome and Salisbury, and elsewhere in Dorset.

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.

Do I need planning permission for grilles on my house?

Internal grilles usually do not need planning permission. External grilles, listed homes and homes in conservation areas may need consent, so we check first.

Are grilles safe if there is a fire?

Yes, provided any window needed for escape has a grille with a keyless internal release. We will not fit a key-only grille over an escape window.
