Retractable security grilles in Richmond

What is the price of retractable security grilles in Richmond?

Budget £414 to £1,554 including VAT (£345 to £1,295 plus VAT) per opening for retractable security grilles in Richmond, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.

Fitting in Richmond and nearby

Whether you are in central Richmond or at the edge of the TW9 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Isleworth and Hounslow are covered too.

London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.

This type of grille suits:

Back doors, French doors and patio doors
Ground-floor windows of homes and flats
Office receptions and glazed partitions
Shop windows and glazed shop entrances

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

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.

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.

Retractable security grilles in Richmond: questions

Can you survey in Richmond and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Richmond, Isleworth, Hounslow and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
