What is the price of quick-release escape window grilles in Leeds?
Budget £534 to £1,074 including VAT (£445 to £895 plus VAT) per window for quick-release escape window grilles in Leeds, 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.
What goes into a quick-release grille
- Keyless internal lever or push-button release
- Retractable lattice that folds fully clear of the opening
- White, black or anthracite finishes
- No key or tool needed to open from inside
- Can be keyed alike with other grilles for daytime locking
- Release positioned at a sensible height

- Loft conversion windows
Questions we will ask at the survey
Clear opening
The folded grille must not reduce the window's clear opening below what escape requires.
Is it an escape window?
If the room relies on the window for escape, the grille must have a keyless release.
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 Leeds: questions
Can you survey in Leeds and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Leeds, Morley, Pudsey and elsewhere in West Yorkshire are booked around installer availability.
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.
How does a quick-release grille work?
A lever or push release on the inside of the lock box unlatches the grille so it can be slid open in one movement, with no key needed.
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.
