Fitting in Sunderland and nearby

Sunderland is about 10 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne, the main centre for Tyne and Wear. We can survey and fit across the SR1 district and in nearby places such as Seaham and Washington.

Tyne and Wear is known for Tyneside flats and brick terraces, Newcastle's listed Grainger Town, and large retail and office centres.

This type of grille suits:

Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Ground-floor and basement windows
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Flats with windows onto shared walkways

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Planning and safety 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.

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.

Window security grilles in Sunderland: questions

Can you survey in Sunderland and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Sunderland, Seaham, Washington and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
