Before the visit
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 Wales
Electric roller grilles
Electric grilles need a suitable supply wired to BS 7671, with notifiable domestic work covered by the Welsh Building Regulations. Powered grilles should have working safety devices and regular maintenance.
Grilles across exits in business premises
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, including to the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs. The responsible person must keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present, so a grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Which areas near Cardiff do you cover?
Yes. As well as Cardiff, we can arrange visits in nearby Penarth, Caerphilly and Barry, and elsewhere in South Glamorgan.
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.

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