- Annual or six-monthly plans for multiple grilles
- Track cleaning and debris removal

Things to think about
Records
Service records help with insurers, landlords and fire risk assessments.
Escape releases
Grilles with quick-release mechanisms should be checked as part of every service.
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.

Security grille servicing in Highbury: questions
Do you cover Islington as well as Highbury?
Yes. As well as Highbury, we can arrange visits in nearby Islington, Holloway and Stamford Hill, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
