Home security grilles in Bow: what will it cost?

Our guide range for home security grilles in Bow 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.

What you can specify

Free survey before any price is fixed
Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged

Fitting in Bow and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Bow and across the E3 postcode district, as well as in nearby Stratford (1 mile) and Canary Wharf (1 mile). Dates depend on installer availability.

London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.

Common openings for home security grilles:

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

Getting the right home grille for your building

Which openings first

Start with the most hidden and easiest openings, usually at the back and side.

Escape from bedrooms

Grilles over bedroom and upstairs windows need a release that opens from inside without a key.

What the rules say in England

England

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.

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 Bow: questions

Which areas near Bow do you cover?

We can arrange work in Bow and in nearby Stratford (1 mile), Canary Wharf (1 mile) and Canning Town (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.
