Things to think about
Repair or replace
If the frame is sound, repair is usually best. Heavily corroded or badly bent grilles are often better replaced.
Parts
Some older grilles need parts that are no longer made; equivalents can often be adapted.
Consents and safety: 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.

Security grille repairs in Dorset: questions
Which towns in Dorset do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Christchurch and Bridport, and in other towns across the area.
Why is my retractable grille hard to slide?
Usually dirt or debris in the bottom track, worn wheels, or a grille that has dropped out of line. Each is normally fixable on site.
Can you repair a grille someone tried to break?
Often, yes. Bent sections can be straightened or replaced and locks renewed; if the damage is severe we will advise on replacement.
Do you repair grilles you did not fit?
Yes. We work on most retractable, hinged and roller grilles, subject to parts.
