What is the price of quick-release escape window grilles in Enfield?

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 goes into a quick-release grille
- Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- No key or tool needed to open from inside
- Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking
- White, black or anthracite finishes
Fitting in Enfield and nearby
Surveys in Enfield (EN1) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Edmonton (2 miles), Tottenham (3 miles) and Wood Green (4 miles).
London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.
This type of grille suits:
- Bedroom windows in houses and bungalows
- Upstairs habitable rooms
- Rooms in HMOs and rented homes
- Basement bedrooms
Questions we will ask at the survey
Release position
Easy to find and operate in the dark, but not something a passer-by can reach.
Children
Discuss the release position with us if young children use the room.
Planning and safety in England
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
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.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Enfield: questions
Which areas near Enfield do you cover?
We can arrange work in Enfield and in nearby Edmonton (2 miles), Tottenham (3 miles) and Wood Green (4 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Do landlords need escape grilles?
Landlords must keep escape routes usable for tenants. A key-only grille over a bedroom escape window is a fire hazard, so a quick-release grille is the safer choice.
How does a quick-release grille work?
A lever or push release on the inside of the lock box unlatches the grille so it can be slid open in one movement, with no key needed.
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.
