Home security grilles in Southampton

What is the price of home security grilles in Southampton?

Our guide range for home security grilles in Southampton 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

Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows
Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up

Planning and safety 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 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 Southampton: questions

Do you cover Hythe as well as Southampton?

Yes. As well as Southampton, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hythe, Totton and Eastleigh, and elsewhere in Hampshire.

Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?

Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.

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.

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.
