What is the price of quick-release escape window grilles in Kirkby?
As a guide, quick-release escape window grilles in Kirkby cost £534 to £1,074 including VAT (£445 to £895 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.
What you can specify
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
- Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- Release positioned at a sensible height
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release
- No key or tool needed to open from inside

Questions we will ask at the survey
Is it an escape window?
If the room relies on the window for escape, the grille must have a keyless release.
Children
Discuss the release position with us if young children use the room.
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.
How it works
- Tell us about the opening
- Survey and measuring

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Kirkby: questions
Can you survey in Kirkby and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Kirkby, Maghull, Litherland and elsewhere in Merseyside are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
