Things to think about
Parts
Some older grilles need parts that are no longer made; equivalents can often be adapted.
Make it safe first
After a break-in attempt, the first priority is making the opening secure.
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.

Do you cover Christchurch as well as Bournemouth?

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.
