Visits in Falmouth and nearby
Visits in Falmouth (TR11) are booked around engineer availability. We also cover nearby Truro (8 miles), Redruth (9 miles) and Camborne (11 miles).
Cornwall's stock is largely granite and slate cottages, terraces and holiday lets, with many seasonal properties left empty for part of the year.
Typical reasons to book:
- Old grilles in rented or newly bought properties
- Retractable grilles that stick or jump the track
- Grilles with lost or broken keys
- Roller grilles that will not open or close
Things to think about
Prevent repeats
Many faults come from dirt in the tracks; regular servicing helps.
Parts
Some older grilles need parts that are no longer made; equivalents can often be adapted.
What the rules say in England
Electric roller grilles
Electric grilles need a suitable supply wired to BS 7671. In homes, some electrical work is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. Powered grilles should have working safety devices and regular maintenance.
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.
How it works
- Describe the fault and send a photo
