Consents and safety: 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 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.

Security grille installation in Carlisle: questions
Which areas near Carlisle do you cover?

Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by installers working under our contract with you, so you deal with us from survey to handover.
Can you fit a grille I bought online?
Often, yes. We check the product, measurements and fixings first, then quote a fit-only price, usually from £195 plus VAT (£234 inc VAT) per opening.
Will fitting make a mess?
Drilling makes some dust. Installers use dust sheets and a vacuum and leave the area tidy.
