Rules that apply in England
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering; the insurer decides whether a product meets it.

Vacant property grilles and screens in Letchworth Garden City: questions
Do you cover Hitchin as well as Letchworth Garden City?
Yes. As well as Letchworth Garden City, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hitchin, Stevenage and Luton, and elsewhere in Hertfordshire.
How quickly can screens be fitted?
Steel screens are standard sizes adjusted on site, so they can usually be fitted faster than made-to-measure grilles. We confirm the date when you book.

Screens are fixed with anchors that leave small holes, which we make good when the screens come down.
