Home security grilles in Rochester

Home security grilles in Rochester: what will it cost?

Our guide range for home security grilles in Rochester 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

Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
White, black or anthracite to match frames
Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows

Keys

Locks can be keyed alike so one key works every grille.

Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.

What the rules say 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 Rochester: questions

Can you survey in Rochester and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Rochester, Chatham, Strood and elsewhere in Kent are booked around installer availability.

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.

Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?

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