Retractable grilles in Gerrards Cross

What is the price of retractable security grilles in Gerrards Cross?

Our guide range for retractable security grilles in Gerrards Cross is £414 to £1,554 including VAT (£345 to £1,295 plus VAT) per opening, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

A retractable security grille is a steel or aluminium lattice of vertical bars joined by scissor links that runs in a top and bottom track. Drawn across a window or door it forms a locked barrier; slid back, it folds into a narrow stack at the side so the opening is fully usable.

Choices you can make

Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill
White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
Vertical bars with diagonal scissor links that lock rigid when closed
Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width
Key-operated lock box on the leading edge, with optional extra locking points
Single, double or multi-leaf layouts for wide openings

Buckinghamshire combines Milton Keynes' modern estates and grid-road business units with older market towns such as Aylesbury, Amersham and High Wycombe.

This type of grille suits:

Back doors, French doors and patio doors
Stockrooms and cash offices
Shop windows and glazed shop entrances
Ground-floor windows of homes and flats

Questions we will ask at the survey

Bottom track or no bottom track

A bottom track gives the most rigid grille but can be a trip point across a doorway. Low-profile and removable floor tracks are available for doors.

Security level

Domestic grilles suit most homes. Shops, pharmacies and high-value stock may justify heavier sections or a third-party certified product.

Planning and safety 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.

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Retractable security grilles in Gerrards Cross: questions

Do you cover Chalfont St Peter as well as Gerrards Cross?

Yes. As well as Gerrards Cross, we can arrange surveys in nearby Chalfont St Peter, Uxbridge and Rickmansworth, and elsewhere in Buckinghamshire.

Will a grille stop me opening my windows?

No. An internal grille sits inside the reveal, so you can open the window as normal when the grille is folded back, and usually with it closed if there is enough depth between grille and glass.

Do retractable grilles need a bottom track?

Most do, because the bottom track stops the grille being pushed out of line. On doorways a low or recessed track can be used to reduce the trip hazard, and some top-hung designs work without one on smaller openings.

Can a retractable grille be fitted inside the window?

Yes, and that is how most are fitted. The tracks fix into the window reveal or to a timber or steel subframe, so the grille sits between the glass and the room.
