Things to think about
What the wall is made of
Solid brick and block take direct fixings; stud, render and thin reveals may need a subframe.
Existing grilles
Old grilles can be removed and taken away as part of the job.
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 across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Security grille installation in North Shields: questions
Do you cover Tynemouth as well as North Shields?
We can arrange work in North Shields and in nearby Tynemouth (1 mile), South Shields (1 mile) and Whitley Bay (2 miles). Dates depend on engineer availability.
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.
How long does installation take?
Most single grilles take one to two hours. A whole house or shopfront may take a day.
