What is the price of quick-release escape window grilles in Fleet?
Our guide range for quick-release escape window grilles in Fleet is £534 to £1,074 including VAT (£445 to £895 plus VAT) per window, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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
- Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking
- Release positioned at a sensible height
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
- White, black or anthracite finishes
- No key or tool needed to open from inside
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening

We arrange surveys and fitting in Fleet and across the GU51 postcode district, as well as in nearby Farnborough (3 miles) and Aldershot (4 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Hampshire runs from Portsmouth's dense Victorian terraces and Southampton's post-war centre to market towns such as Winchester with large conservation areas.

- Basement bedrooms

- Upstairs habitable rooms
- Rooms in HMOs and rented homes
Questions we will ask at the survey
Children
Discuss the release position with us if young children use the room.
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
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 Fleet: questions
Do you cover Farnborough as well as Fleet?
Yes. As well as Fleet, we can arrange surveys in nearby Farnborough, Aldershot and Yateley, and elsewhere in Hampshire.
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.
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.
