- Roller grille spring, motor and safety device checks
- Check of fixings, alignment and stack
- Annual or six-monthly plans for multiple grilles

Getting the best result
How often
Daily-use and external grilles benefit from six-monthly visits; light-use internal grilles from yearly.
Powered grilles
Electric grilles need checks of their safety devices as well as the mechanics.
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.
Bedroom and escape windows
Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.
