Security grille servicing in Oldham: what will it cost?
Security grille servicing in Oldham costs £114 to £234 including VAT (£95 to £195 plus VAT) per grille, with a minimum visit charge of £174 including VAT (£145 plus VAT). The price is confirmed before the visit.
Security grille servicing is planned maintenance that keeps grilles running smoothly and locking properly. A service cleans the tracks, lubricates the pivots and runners, checks fixings and alignment, tests the lock and any release mechanism, and records anything that needs attention.
What we look at
- Lubrication of pivots, runners and lock
- Roller grille spring, motor and safety device checks
- Quick-release escape mechanism test
- Check of fixings, alignment and stack
- Annual or six-monthly plans for multiple grilles
- Lock and key operation test

Things to think about
How often
Daily-use and external grilles benefit from six-monthly visits; light-use internal grilles from yearly.
Escape releases
Grilles with quick-release mechanisms should be checked as part of every service.
What the rules say 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.
