How much should I budget for home security grilles in Fulham?
As a guide, home security grilles in Fulham cost £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
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.
Choices you can make
- White, black or anthracite to match frames
- Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
- Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer

Keys
Locks can be keyed alike so one key works every grille.

Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.
Consents and safety: 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 in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

Home security grilles in Fulham: questions
Which areas near Fulham do you cover?
We can arrange work in Fulham and in nearby Chelsea (1 mile), Putney (2 miles) and Battersea (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.
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.
