What is the price of quick-release escape window grilles in Prestatyn?
As a guide, quick-release escape window grilles in Prestatyn cost £534 to £1,074 including VAT (£445 to £895 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
An escape window grille is a retractable grille with a release on the inside that opens it without a key or tool. It secures a window against entry from outside while keeping the window usable as an emergency escape route from inside, which bedroom and upstairs windows often need to be.
What you can specify
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
- Release positioned at a sensible height
- Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside
- White, black or anthracite finishes
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release
- No key or tool needed to open from inside

Planning and safety in Wales
Bedroom and escape windows
Wales has its own Approved Documents under the Building Regulations. Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for dwellings broadly in line with England's, including minimum opening sizes. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Wales, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Prestatyn: questions
Do you cover Rhyl as well as Prestatyn?
Yes. As well as Prestatyn, we can arrange surveys in nearby Rhyl, Flint and Colwyn Bay, and elsewhere in Clwyd.
Could a burglar use the quick release?
It should not be possible from outside. The release is on the inside face and positioned so it is not reachable through the lattice from outside; we check this at fitting.
Can I have security grilles on bedroom windows?
Yes, as long as the grille opens from inside without a key or tool. That keeps the window usable as an escape route.
Can I lock a quick-release grille when I go away?
Some designs allow a key lock to be used as well, for when the house is empty. The release must always be usable when anyone is sleeping there.
