Visits in Darlington and nearby
Darlington is about 17 miles from Durham, the main centre for Durham. We can arrange visits across the DL3 district and in nearby places such as Newton Aycliffe and Stockton-on-Tees.
County Durham's stock is dominated by brick terraces in former colliery towns, alongside the listed historic core of Durham city and Teesside's commercial centres.
Common situations:
- Fitting grilles you have bought
- Replacing old or broken grilles
- Moving a grille to a new opening
- New grilles for homes and businesses
Getting the best result
Existing grilles
Old grilles can be removed and taken away as part of the job.
What the wall is made of
Solid brick and block take direct fixings; stud, render and thin reveals may need a subframe.
Planning and safety in 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.
