How much should I budget for home security grilles in Canary Wharf?
Most home security grilles in Canary Wharf 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.

Fitting in Canary Wharf and nearby
Canary Wharf is about 5 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the E14 district and in nearby places such as Bow and Canning Town.
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.
Where home security grilles are most often used:
- Flats with windows on walkways or balconies
- Homes left empty while travelling
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Patio, French and kitchen doors
What to think about first
Which openings first
Start with the most hidden and easiest openings, usually at the back and side.
Keys
Locks can be keyed alike so one key works every grille.
Consents and safety: 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 Canary Wharf: questions
Do you cover Bow as well as Canary Wharf?
Yes. As well as Canary Wharf, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bow, Canning Town and Greenwich, and elsewhere in Greater London.
Are grilles safe if there is a fire?
Yes, provided any window needed for escape has a grille with a keyless internal release. We will not fit a key-only grille over an escape window.
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.
Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?
Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.
