Choices you can make
- Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
- Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows
- Free survey before any price is fixed

Consents and safety: Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

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

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.

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