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

Keyless internal lever or push-button release
White, black or anthracite finishes
Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside
Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
No key or tool needed to open from inside
Release positioned at a sensible height

Fitting in Bury and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Bury and across the BL9 postcode district, as well as in nearby Radcliffe (3 miles) and Heywood (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Greater Manchester is dominated by red-brick terraces and mill-town centres, with converted mills, modern city-centre flats and large retail parks.

This type of grille suits:

Upstairs habitable rooms
Loft conversion windows
Bedroom windows in houses and bungalows
Rooms in HMOs and rented homes

Questions we will ask at the survey

Clear opening

The folded grille must not reduce the window's clear opening below what escape requires.

Children

Discuss the release position with us if young children use the room.

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 Bury: questions

Can you survey in Bury and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Bury, Radcliffe, Heywood and elsewhere in Greater Manchester are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
