How much should I budget for bespoke security grilles in Bexley?
Our guide range for bespoke security grilles in Bexley is £474 to £3,594 including VAT (£395 to £2,995 plus VAT) per opening, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
A bespoke security grille is designed and fabricated for one particular opening, such as an arched window, a curved bay, a very large screen or a period building where a standard grille would look wrong. It is measured on site, drawn up and made to suit.
Choices you can make
- Any RAL colour, galvanised or both
- Very large or multi-section screens
- Slim sections for period and listed buildings
- Design drawing agreed before fabrication
- Decorative bar patterns and scroll work
- Arched, curved, raked and odd-shaped grilles

What to think about first
Design approval
We agree a drawing showing bar layout, sections and finish before anything is made.
Lead time
Bespoke grilles take longer than standard ones because each is drawn and made individually.
Consents and safety: 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.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Bespoke security grilles in Bexley: questions
Do you cover Welling as well as Bexley?
Yes. As well as Bexley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Welling, Dartford and Swanley, and elsewhere in Greater London.
Can you make a grille for an arched window?
Yes. Fixed and removable grilles can follow the arch exactly, and retractable grilles can be fitted below the springing line with a fixed arched panel above.
Can bespoke grilles still be retractable?
Yes, within limits. Retractable grilles need straight tracks, so curved or arched parts are usually fixed.
Can you copy an existing grille design?
We can make a grille in a similar style for a matching window. We do not copy other firms' registered designs.
