What is the price of retractable security grilles in Dyfed?
As a guide, retractable security grilles in Dyfed cost £414 to £1,554 including VAT (£345 to £1,295 plus VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
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.
What you can specify
- Single, double or multi-leaf layouts for wide openings
- Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width
- Vertical bars with diagonal scissor links that lock rigid when closed
- Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape
- Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill
- Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty

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.
Which side it folds to
The stack needs a clear wall or reveal to park against. We check curtains, handles, radiators and light switches before the grille is ordered.
Planning and safety in Wales
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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Retractable security grilles in Dyfed: questions
Which towns in Dyfed do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Dyfed, including Llanelli, Ammanford, Aberystwyth, Carmarthen and Haverfordwest, and in other towns across the area.
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.
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.
How long does a retractable grille take to fit?
Most single windows or doors are fitted in an hour or two once the made-to-measure grille arrives. A shopfront or several openings may take a day.
