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 Stevenage and nearby

Stevenage is about 19 miles from Watford, the main centre for Hertfordshire. We can survey and fit across the SG1 district and in nearby places such as Hitchin and Letchworth Garden City.

Hertfordshire mixes the garden cities of Letchworth and Welwyn, post-war new towns such as Stevenage, and historic centres like St Albans.

This type of grille suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

Release position

Easy to find and operate in the dark, but not something a passer-by can reach.

Clear opening

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

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 Stevenage: questions

Can you survey in Stevenage and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Stevenage, Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City and elsewhere in Hertfordshire 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.

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.

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.
