What is the price of home security grilles in Dundee?
As a guide, home security grilles in Dundee cost £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Questions we will ask at the survey
Escape from bedrooms
Grilles over bedroom and upstairs windows need a release that opens from inside without a key.
Which openings first
Start with the most hidden and easiest openings, usually at the back and side.
Planning and safety in Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, 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
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.

- Tell us about the opening

Home security grilles in Dundee: questions
Can you survey in Dundee and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Dundee, Cupar, St Andrews and elsewhere in Dundee and Angus 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.
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.
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.
