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 Ross-on-Wye and nearby
Ross-on-Wye is about 11 miles from Hereford, the main centre for Herefordshire. We can survey and fit across the HR9 district and in nearby places such as Hereford and Gloucester.
Herefordshire is largely rural, with black-and-white timber-framed buildings, stone farmhouses and small market-town high streets such as Hereford and Leominster.
This type of grille suits:
- Rooms in HMOs and rented homes
- Upstairs habitable rooms
- Bedroom windows in houses and bungalows
- Basement bedrooms
Questions we will ask at the survey
Clear opening
The folded grille must not reduce the window's clear opening below what escape requires.
Release position
Easy to find and operate in the dark, but not something a passer-by can reach.
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.
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 Ross-on-Wye: questions
Which areas near Ross-on-Wye do you cover?
We can arrange work in Ross-on-Wye and in nearby Hereford (11 miles), Gloucester (15 miles) and Malvern (18 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
