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
- Release positioned at a sensible height
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release
- No key or tool needed to open from inside
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- Clear opening kept at or above the window's escape size
- White, black or anthracite finishes

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.
Planning and safety in England
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.
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.

Escape window grilles (quick release) in Tynemouth: questions
Do you cover North Shields as well as Tynemouth?
Yes. As well as Tynemouth, we can arrange surveys in nearby North Shields, South Shields and Whitley Bay, and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear.
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.
