Home security grilles in Cheltenham

Home security grilles in Cheltenham: what will it cost?

Most home security grilles in Cheltenham 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.

Getting the right home grille for your building

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.

What the rules say in England

England

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.

Bedroom and escape windows

Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

Home security grilles in Cheltenham: questions

Which areas near Cheltenham do you cover?

We can arrange work in Cheltenham and in nearby Tewkesbury (7 miles), Gloucester (7 miles) and Stroud (12 miles). Dates depend on 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 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.
