Home security grilles in Newquay: what will it cost?
Our guide range for home security grilles in Newquay is £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.
Specification at a glance
- Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
- Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
- White, black or anthracite to match frames
- Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
Fitting in Newquay and nearby
Whether you are in central Newquay or at the edge of the TR7 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Truro and St Austell are covered too.
Cornwall's stock is largely granite and slate cottages, terraces and holiday lets, with many seasonal properties left empty for part of the year.
Common openings for home security grilles:
- Homes left empty while travelling
- Patio, French and kitchen doors
- Bungalows, where every room is on the ground floor
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
Getting the right home grille for your building
Which openings first
Start with the most hidden and easiest openings, usually at the back and side.
Look
Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.
What the rules say 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.

Home security grilles in Newquay: questions
Do you cover Truro as well as Newquay?
Yes. As well as Newquay, we can arrange surveys in nearby Truro, St Austell and Redruth, and elsewhere in Cornwall.
Do I need planning permission for grilles on my house?
Internal grilles usually do not need planning permission. External grilles, listed homes and homes in conservation areas may need consent, so we check first.
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.
Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?
Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.
