- Roller grille spring, motor and safety device checks
- Quick-release escape mechanism test

Getting the best result
Records
Service records help with insurers, landlords and fire risk assessments.
Powered grilles
Electric grilles need checks of their safety devices as well as the mechanics.
What the rules say in Scotland
Bedroom and escape windows
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
Electric roller grilles
Electric grilles need a suitable supply wired to BS 7671, with some work needing a building warrant in Scotland. Powered grilles should have working safety devices and regular maintenance.
