Things to think about
Make it safe first
After a break-in attempt, the first priority is making the opening secure.
Repair or replace
If the frame is sound, repair is usually best. Heavily corroded or badly bent grilles are often better replaced.
Planning and safety 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.

Security grille repairs in Essex: questions
Which towns in Essex do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Essex, including Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Colchester, Chelmsford and Harlow, 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.
Can you fix a roller grille that will not open?
Yes. Common causes are spring, motor, limit or guide problems, which are diagnosed on site.
