Escape window grilles in Rutherglen

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Rutherglen: what will it cost?

Budget £534 to £1,074 including VAT (£445 to £895 plus VAT) per window for quick-release escape window grilles in Rutherglen, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.

Discuss the release position with us if young children use the room.

Clear opening

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

What the rules say in Scotland

Scotland

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.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Rutherglen: questions

Can you survey in Rutherglen and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Rutherglen, Cambuslang, Glasgow and elsewhere in Lanarkshire are booked around 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 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.
