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.
Options for quick-release escape window grilles in Shepherds Bush
- No key or tool needed to open from inside
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
- Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release
- Release positioned at a sensible height

Fitting in Shepherds Bush and nearby
Shepherds Bush is about 4 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the W12 district and in nearby places such as Notting Hill and Chiswick.
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:
- Basement bedrooms
- Bedroom windows in houses and bungalows
- Loft conversion windows
- Upstairs habitable rooms
Questions we will ask at the survey
Clear opening
The folded grille must not reduce the window's clear opening below what escape requires.
Is it an escape window?
If the room relies on the window for escape, the grille must have a keyless release.
Planning and safety in 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.
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.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Shepherds Bush: questions
Can you survey in Shepherds Bush and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Shepherds Bush, Notting Hill, Chiswick and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
