Visits in Exeter and nearby
Exeter is about 36 miles from Plymouth, the main centre for Devon. We can arrange visits across the EX1 district and in nearby places such as Exmouth and Tiverton.
Devon runs from post-war Plymouth and Exeter city centres to Victorian seaside terraces in Torbay and thatched and stone cottages inland.
Typical reasons to book:
- Shops opening and closing grilles daily
- Electric roller grilles
- Offices and multi-grille buildings
- Grilles over escape windows
Things to think about
Escape releases
Grilles with quick-release mechanisms should be checked as part of every service.
How often
Daily-use and external grilles benefit from six-monthly visits; light-use internal grilles from yearly.
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.
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.

Security grille servicing in Exeter: questions
Do you cover Exmouth as well as Exeter?
We can arrange work in Exeter and in nearby Exmouth (9 miles), Tiverton (12 miles) and Newton Abbot (14 miles). Dates depend on engineer availability.
Can I lubricate my grille myself?
Yes, with a light dry lubricant on the pivots and runners, and by keeping the bottom track clear. Avoid heavy grease, which collects dirt.
How often should a grille be serviced?
Once a year for most grilles, and every six months for grilles used daily, fitted outside, or electrically operated.
Do I get a record of the service?
Yes. You receive a short written record of what was checked and anything that needs attention.
