What is the price of quick-release escape window grilles in Inverness?

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
- Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release
- Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking
- No key or tool needed to open from inside
- White, black or anthracite finishes
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
Fitting in Inverness and nearby
We can arrange quick-release escape window grilles across Inverness, the main centre for Highland, and in nearby towns including Dingwall, Nairn and Aviemore.
The Highlands are one of the most sparsely populated parts of the UK, with Inverness as the main centre and many remote homes, holiday lets and small-town shops.
This type of grille suits:
- Rooms in HMOs and rented homes
- Bedroom windows in houses and bungalows
- Basement bedrooms
- Upstairs habitable rooms
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 Scotland
Grilles in rented homes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.
Bedroom and escape windows
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Inverness: questions
Which areas near Inverness do you cover?
We can arrange work in Inverness and in nearby Dingwall (11 miles), Nairn (15 miles) and Aviemore (25 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 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.
