How much do home security grilles cost in Oban?
Budget £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for home security grilles in Oban, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
Home security grilles are made-to-measure grilles for the windows and doors of houses and flats, usually retractable and fitted inside the glass. Folded back during the day they are barely noticeable; drawn across at night or when you are away, they stop entry through broken glass.
What you can specify
- Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
- Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
- Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings

Rules that apply in 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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Home security grilles in Oban: questions
Can you survey in Oban and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Oban, Fort William, Dunoon and elsewhere in Argyll and Bute are booked around installer availability.
Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?
Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.
Do home security grilles look like prison bars?
Not when they are fitted inside the glass in a matching colour. Folded back, a grille is a slim stack at the side of the window.
Will grilles affect my home insurance?
Some insurers ask about security measures. Tell your insurer about any changes; they decide whether it affects your policy.
