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 goes into a home grille
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
- Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer

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.
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 Totton: questions
Which areas near Totton do you cover?
We can arrange work in Totton and in nearby Southampton (4 miles), Hythe (6 miles) and Eastleigh (7 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
