Window grills, door grills, roller-shutter alternatives and bespoke security bars manufactured in our Leeds workshop. Made to measure for retail units, warehouses, schools and heritage buildings across West Yorkshire and the UK. Coded welders. Subject to site survey.
A retail break-in costs more than the stock that walks out the door. Insurance excesses climb, premiums reset at renewal, and the morning after a smashed window is spent boarding up instead of opening up. Off-the-shelf grills delivered in standard sizes look like an afterthought on a Victorian shopfront — and rarely cover the actual opening they were meant to protect.
Most aggregator-supplied security grills are sized from a dropdown menu and fitted by a sub-contractor who saw the building for the first time on install day. Bar spacing is wrong. The fixings tear out of soft brickwork. The lock fouls the reveal. The whole point of the grill — to slow a determined attempt long enough for it to fail or be heard — is undermined the moment the install is rushed.
Bespoke security grills are different. We measure the opening that's actually there, in the wall that's actually standing. We select the bar section, mesh aperture, fixing detail and finish to suit the building — heritage stonework, retail glazing, a warehouse loading bay or a modern office façade. The grill protects what needs protecting and looks like it belongs.
Bespoke steel security grills manufactured in our Leeds workshop and installed on site across West Yorkshire and UK-wide. Every grill is sized, drilled and finished to the survey drawings, with bar section, mesh aperture and locking detail chosen to suit the building and the threat.
Permanent grills fitted to the window reveal, surrounding masonry or external face. Fabricated from solid round bar (typically 16mm to 25mm diameter), square bar, flat bar, or welded mesh infill — selected at design stage based on the security level required and the visual context. Ideal for service windows, plant-room openings, basement lights and ground-floor commercial glazing where the grill will stay put long-term.
Grills that come down for cleaning, retail events, or seasonal trading. Key-operated quick-release brackets, lift-off hinges and slot-fix designs let an authorised user remove the grill in seconds and refit it just as quickly. Common on retail shopfronts where the grill is in place out-of-hours and stored internally during trading, and on heritage buildings where listed consent requires a reversible installation.
Steel folding grilles, concertina-style retractable grills and side-folding gates that replicate the security of a roller shutter without the bulk of a shutter box, the noise of an electric motor, or the dead frontage that closes a high street after dark. Fabricated to span the opening, fold or retract to one side, and lock at the closed position. A common specification for shopping centres, listed buildings and ground-floor restaurants where a roller shutter isn't permitted or isn't wanted.
Security gates for doorways, service entrances, loading bays and yard access points — distinct from our main driveway and pedestrian gate work. Hinged or sliding configurations, single or double leaf, with cylinder locks, padlock hasps or multi-point locking depending on the asset behind the door. Built to take a deliberate attempt to force entry and slow it down to the point where the attempt fails.
Internal bar grilles for server rooms, stock rooms, cash-handling areas, pharmacy dispensaries and high-value display zones. Floor-to-ceiling or partial-height, with hinged or sliding access panels, in welded vertical-bar or horizontal-bar configurations. Often specified alongside machine guarding on commercial sites where the same workshop handles both the safety and security infrastructure under one survey, one drawing pack and one install visit.
Welded mesh panels and perforated steel plate for vacant property protection, void-period security and high-risk external openings. Hardened-steel options available where the threat profile demands it. We'll specify mesh aperture, plate thickness and fixing pattern to suit the asset and the attack window — and re-finish to match the building rather than leaving the obvious "vacant" signal of a generic boarded-up frontage.
Standards: Welded by coded operatives certified to BS EN ISO 9606. Fabrication tested to BS 4872. Hot-dip galvanising to BS EN ISO 1461 where specified. Powder-coat finishing to any RAL colour.
Listed buildings & planning. Security grills on listed buildings, conservation-area frontages or buildings subject to design covenants typically need Listed Building Consent or planning approval before installation. We can fabricate to a reversible-fixing specification that supports a consent application — but the consent itself is the responsibility of the building owner or their planning consultant. We'll work to the agreed scheme.
Send photos of the openings, your insurer’s minimum spec, or just an address. We’ll come back with questions inside a day.
Free, no obligation. We measure every opening, check substrate fixings, agree finish and review any planning constraints.
Drawings of each grill plus a written, itemised quote — typically inside three working days. Revisions handled before fabrication.
Built in our Leeds workshop by coded welders. Galvanised, powder-coated or duplex finished. Trial-fit on awkward heritage openings.
Fitted on site by our team — outside trading hours where it matters. Sign-off and an aftercare sheet on completion.
Every grill is fabricated to the opening that's actually there. No stock sizes, no nearest-fit compromises, no soft-brick fixings tearing out a week in.
Victorian shopfront, listed pub, retail park unit or new-build office — we design the grill to suit the building, the threat and the consent.
Every weld done by an operative certified to BS EN ISO 9606. Welder tickets available with the delivery. Fabrication tested to BS 4872.
Early starts, evening installs, weekend fit-outs around a refurb — we work the install to suit your trading hours, not ours.
Workshop in Leeds; survey and install across West Yorkshire as standard, and UK-wide for commercial multi-site work. For West Yorkshire sites we typically install inside two weeks of sign-off. For sites further afield — Manchester, Sheffield, the North East, the Midlands — we coordinate around opening hours and travel as required.
Outside West Yorkshire? Get in touch — we travel for commercial multi-site rollouts and heritage installations.
Yes. Removable grills use key-operated quick-release brackets or lift-off hinges that let an authorised user take the grill down in seconds and refit it just as quickly. Concertina and folding grilles retract to one side of the opening and lock in the open position during trading. Both styles let you keep the frontage clear during business hours without compromising overnight security.
In most cases yes, but listed buildings typically need Listed Building Consent before installation. We design to a reversible-fixing specification — fixings into mortar joints rather than dressed stone, no permanent alterations to the host fabric — which supports a consent application. The consent itself is the building owner's responsibility. We’ll work to the scheme your conservation officer signs off on.
Yes, but with specific design choices. Grills on a fire-escape route must allow rapid unimpeded egress. We design with panic hardware, internal thumb-turn releases, or quick-release mechanisms that satisfy the fire risk assessment. This is one area where the fire engineer’s spec drives our design — flag the fire-escape route to us at survey and we’ll fabricate accordingly.
Yes. Loading-bay grilles, service-door grilles, perimeter mesh and high-bay window grills for warehouses, light-industrial units and distribution centres. We work alongside our machine guarding capability so a single workshop visit and a single install crew can deliver both the safety guarding and the perimeter security infrastructure under one drawing pack.
Hot-dip galvanising to BS EN ISO 1461 for harsh environments, external installations and coastal sites; powder coating in any RAL colour for shopfronts and visual brand-matching; a duplex finish — galvanise plus powder coat — for the most demanding conditions. Stainless steel is available where a maintenance-free finish is required, typically on prestige commercial frontages and food-grade sites.
Yes. Powder coating is available in any RAL colour, so we can match an existing shopfront, brand palette or architectural colour scheme. Matt, satin and textured finishes are available alongside the standard gloss. Colour and sheen are confirmed at quotation stage so there are no surprises when the grill arrives on site.
Site survey is typically scheduled within a few days of enquiry. CAD drawings and a written quote follow inside three working days. Fabrication runs two to three weeks for a typical multi-opening commercial job. Installation is usually completed in a single visit for retail and small-commercial work. For urgent jobs around a void period, insurance audit or post-incident reinstatement we can prioritise — flag the deadline at first contact.
Costs scale with opening size, bar specification, finish and complexity of fixing. A single residential basement-window grill is at the low end; a multi-opening retail frontage with folding grilles is at the upper end. All quotes are subject to specification and site survey, written and itemised, so you see exactly what each opening costs. No verbal estimates, no surprises at the install stage.
