Home security grilles in South Glamorgan: what will it cost?
Most home security grilles in South Glamorgan fall within £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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
- Free survey before any price is fixed
- White, black or anthracite to match frames
- Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
- Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
- Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
- Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up

Getting the right home grille for your building
Escape from bedrooms
Grilles over bedroom and upstairs windows need a release that opens from inside without a key.

Match the grille colour to your window frames and it will almost disappear.
What the rules say in Wales
Grilles in rented homes
Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, landlords must keep dwellings fit for human habitation, which takes fire hazards into account. Grilles over windows a contract-holder may need for escape should open from inside without a key.
Bedroom and escape windows
Wales has its own Approved Documents under the Building Regulations. Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for dwellings broadly in line with England's, including minimum opening sizes. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Home security grilles in South Glamorgan: questions
Which towns in South Glamorgan do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in South Glamorgan, including Cardiff, Barry, Penarth and Llantwit Major.
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.
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.
