Visits in Falmouth and nearby
Falmouth is about 8 miles from Truro, the main centre for Cornwall. We can arrange visits across the TR11 district and in nearby places such as Truro and Redruth.
Cornwall's stock is largely granite and slate cottages, terraces and holiday lets, with many seasonal properties left empty for part of the year.
Typical reasons to book:
- Grilles over escape windows
- Landlords with grilles in rented homes
- Shops opening and closing grilles daily
- Offices and multi-grille buildings
Things to think about
Escape releases
Grilles with quick-release mechanisms should be checked as part of every service.
Powered grilles
Electric grilles need checks of their safety devices as well as the mechanics.
Planning and safety in England
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.
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.

Do you cover Truro as well as Falmouth?

The motor, limits, safety edges or photocells, manual override and the curtain and guides.

Once a year for most grilles, and every six months for grilles used daily, fitted outside, or electrically operated.
