How much should I budget for home security grilles in Hull?
Our guide range for home security grilles in Hull 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.
Choices you can make
- Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
- White, black or anthracite to match frames
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings

What to think about first
Look
Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.
Keys
Locks can be keyed alike so one key works every grille.
Consents and safety: 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 Hull: questions
Can you survey in Hull and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Hull, Beverley, Grimsby and elsewhere in East Riding of Yorkshire are booked around installer availability.
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.
Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?
Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.
