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.

Fitting in Stamford Hill and nearby
Stamford Hill is about 5 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the N16 district and in nearby places such as Highbury and Tottenham.

- Bedroom windows in houses and bungalows
- Rooms in HMOs and rented homes
- Basement bedrooms
- Loft conversion windows
Things to decide before you order
Release position
Easy to find and operate in the dark, but not something a passer-by can reach.
Clear opening
The folded grille must not reduce the window's clear opening below what escape requires.
Rules that apply 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 Stamford Hill: questions
Which areas near Stamford Hill do you cover?
We can arrange work in Stamford Hill and in nearby Highbury (2 miles), Tottenham (2 miles) and Holloway (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
