Visits in Hexham and nearby
Hexham is about 21 miles from Morpeth, the main centre for Northumberland. We can arrange visits across the NE46 district and in nearby places such as Consett and Stanley.
Northumberland is largely rural, with stone-built market towns such as Hexham and Alnwick and terraced former mining towns in the south-east.
Typical reasons to book:
- Landlords with grilles in rented homes
- Electric roller grilles
- Shops opening and closing grilles daily
- Grilles over escape windows
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.

Security grille servicing in Hexham: questions
Do you cover Consett as well as Hexham?
We can arrange work in Hexham and in nearby Consett (13 miles), Stanley (18 miles) and Newcastle upon Tyne (19 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.
Do I get a record of the service?
Yes. You receive a short written record of what was checked and anything that needs attention.
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.
