Home security grilles in Bexley: what will it cost?
Most home security grilles in Bexley 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.
What goes into a home grille
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
- 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
- White, black or anthracite to match frames

- Bungalows, where every room is on the ground floor
- Patio, French and kitchen doors
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Flats with windows on walkways or balconies

Keys
Locks can be keyed alike so one key works every grille.
Which openings first
Start with the most hidden and easiest openings, usually at the back and side.
What the rules say in 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.
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 Bexley: questions
Do you cover Welling as well as Bexley?
Yes. As well as Bexley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Welling, Dartford and Swanley, and elsewhere in Greater London.
Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?
Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.
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.
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.
