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
- Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
- Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged

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.
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 Welling: questions
Do you cover Bexley as well as Welling?
Yes. As well as Welling, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bexley, Eltham and Thamesmead, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
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.
