How much should I budget for quick-release escape window grilles in Radcliffe?
As a guide, quick-release escape window grilles in Radcliffe cost £534 to £1,074 including VAT (£445 to £895 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.
Choices you can make
- Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release
- No key or tool needed to open from inside
- Release positioned at a sensible height

Consents and safety: 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 Radcliffe: questions
Can you survey in Radcliffe and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Radcliffe, Whitefield, Prestwich and elsewhere in Greater Manchester 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.
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.
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.
