How much should I budget for quick-release escape window grilles in Great Yarmouth?
As a guide, quick-release escape window grilles in Great Yarmouth 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.
Choices you can make
- No key or tool needed to open from inside
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- Release positioned at a sensible height
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release
- Release positioned so it should not be reachable from outside

Is it an escape window?
If the room relies on the window for escape, the grille must have a keyless release.
Consents and safety: 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 Great Yarmouth: questions
Which areas near Great Yarmouth do you cover?
We can arrange work in Great Yarmouth and in nearby Lowestoft (9 miles), Norwich (18 miles) and North Walsham (21 miles). Dates depend on 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.
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.
