Home security grilles in South Shields

Home security grilles in South Shields: what will it cost?

Most home security grilles in South Shields 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.

Locks keyed alike across the house if you prefer
Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
Free survey before any price is fixed
Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
White, black or anthracite to match frames
Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms

What the rules say in England

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 South Shields: questions

Do you cover Tynemouth as well as South Shields?

Yes. As well as South Shields, we can arrange surveys in nearby Tynemouth, North Shields and Jarrow, and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear.

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.

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.

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.
