Escape window grilles in Golborne

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Golborne: what will it cost?

Budget £534 to £1,074 including VAT (£445 to £895 plus VAT) per window for quick-release escape window grilles in Golborne, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.

Getting the right quick-release grille for your building

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.

What the rules say in England

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.

Grilles in rented homes

Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Golborne: questions

Which areas near Golborne do you cover?

We can arrange work in Golborne and in nearby Newton-le-Willows (2 miles), Ashton-in-Makerfield (2 miles) and Leigh (3 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.

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.

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.
