Fitting in Stevenage and nearby

Stevenage is about 19 miles from Watford, the main centre for Hertfordshire. We can survey and fit across the SG1 district and in nearby places such as Hitchin and Letchworth Garden City.

Hertfordshire mixes the garden cities of Letchworth and Welwyn, post-war new towns such as Stevenage, and historic centres like St Albans.

Where window security grilles are most often used:

Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Ground-floor and basement windows
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing

What to think about first

Retractable, fixed or removable

Match the grille to how often the window opens. Daily-use windows suit retractable; never-opened windows suit fixed; occasional windows suit removable.

Depth in the reveal

Tracks need a few centimetres of flat reveal. Where the frame sits flush with the wall, the grille can be fixed to a slim subframe instead.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

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.

Window security grilles in Stevenage: questions

Do you cover Hitchin as well as Stevenage?

Yes. As well as Stevenage, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City, and elsewhere in Hertfordshire.

Do grilles work on bay windows?

Yes. A bay is usually treated as separate grilles for each face, or one grille following the bay on a curved or angled track.

Can I still open the window with a grille fitted?

With a retractable or removable grille, yes. Many fixed internal grilles also leave room to open the sash or casement behind them.

Are window grilles safe in a bedroom?

They can be, provided the grille has a release that opens from inside without a key. Bedroom and upstairs windows often have to serve as escape routes, so we will not fit a key-only grille over a window you need for escape.
