Before the visit
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.
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.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Security grille servicing in Malvern: questions
Which areas near Malvern do you cover?
Yes. As well as Malvern, we can arrange visits in nearby Worcester, Tewkesbury and Droitwich, and elsewhere in Worcestershire.
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.
