Home security grilles in Braintree: what will it cost?
Most home security grilles in Braintree fall within £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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.
Options for home security grilles in Braintree
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
- Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
- Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
- White, black or anthracite to match frames
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
Fitting in Braintree and nearby
Braintree is about 25 miles from Southend-on-Sea, the main centre for Essex. We can survey and fit across the CM7 district and in nearby places such as Witham and Chelmsford.
Essex ranges from Victorian terraces in Southend and Colchester to new towns such as Harlow and Basildon and large commuter estates near London.
Common openings for home security grilles:
- Flats with windows on walkways or balconies
- Patio, French and kitchen doors
- Bungalows, where every room is on the ground floor
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house

What the rules say in England
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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Home security grilles in Braintree: questions
Do you cover Witham as well as Braintree?
Yes. As well as Braintree, we can arrange surveys in nearby Witham, Chelmsford and Maldon, and elsewhere in Essex.
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.
