Home security grilles in Bootle: what will it cost?
Budget £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for home security grilles in Bootle, 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 goes into a home grille
- Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
- Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
- Works with sash, casement, tilt-and-turn and bay windows

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 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 Bootle: questions
Can you survey in Bootle and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Bootle, Litherland, Wallasey and elsewhere in Merseyside are booked around installer availability.
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.
