Home security grilles in Fort William: what will it cost?
Budget £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for home security grilles in Fort William, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.
What you can specify
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- White, black or anthracite to match frames
- 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
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged

Getting the right home grille for your building
Which openings first
Start with the most hidden and easiest openings, usually at the back and side.
Escape from bedrooms
Grilles over bedroom and upstairs windows need a release that opens from inside without a key.
What the rules say in Scotland
Grilles in rented homes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.
Bedroom and escape windows
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Home security grilles in Fort William: questions
Do you cover Oban as well as Fort William?
Yes. As well as Fort William, we can arrange work in nearby Oban and elsewhere in Highland.
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.
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 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.
