Home security grilles in Northampton

How much do home security grilles cost in Northampton?

As a guide, home security grilles in Northampton 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

Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms
Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up

Flats with windows on walkways or balconies
Bungalows, where every room is on the ground floor
Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
Patio, French and kitchen doors

Things to decide before you order

Look

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

Keys

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

Rules that apply 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 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 Northampton: questions

Can you survey in Northampton and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Northampton, Wellingborough, Daventry and elsewhere in Northamptonshire are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
