Things to think about
Parts
Some older grilles need parts that are no longer made; equivalents can often be adapted.
Prevent repeats
Many faults come from dirt in the tracks; regular servicing helps.
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.

Yes. As well as Barnes, we can arrange visits in nearby Chiswick, Putney and Fulham, and elsewhere in Greater London.

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.

Often, yes. Bent sections can be straightened or replaced and locks renewed; if the damage is severe we will advise on replacement.
