Home security grilles in Isle of Wight: what will it cost?
As a guide, home security grilles in Isle of Wight 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
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
- White, black or anthracite to match frames
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer

Getting the right home grille for your building
Look
Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.
Escape from bedrooms
Grilles over bedroom and upstairs windows need a release that opens from inside without a key.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Home security grilles in Isle of Wight: questions
Which towns in Isle of Wight do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Isle of Wight, including Newport, Ryde, Cowes and Sandown.
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.
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.
