How much should I budget for home security grilles in Derry?
Budget £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for home security grilles in Derry, 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 goes into a home grille
- White, black or anthracite to match frames
- Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
- Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
Fitting in Derry and nearby
Surveys in Derry (BT48) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Strabane (13 miles) and Limavady (15 miles).
County Londonderry centres on Derry's walled city and Victorian streets, with Coleraine and Limavady further east.
Where home security grilles are most often used:
- Bungalows, where every room is on the ground floor
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Patio, French and kitchen doors
- Homes left empty while travelling
What to think about first
Escape from bedrooms
Grilles over bedroom and upstairs windows need a release that opens from inside without a key.
Look
Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.
Consents and safety: Northern Ireland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Northern Ireland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Bedroom and escape windows
Fire safety in new building work in Northern Ireland is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E. 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.

Home security grilles in Derry: questions
Can you survey in Derry and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Derry, Strabane, Limavady and elsewhere in County Londonderry 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.
Are grilles safe if there is a fire?
Yes, provided any window needed for escape has a grille with a keyless internal release. We will not fit a key-only grille over an escape window.
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.
