How much do retractable security grilles cost in Scarborough?

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 goes into a retractable grille
- Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape
- Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width
- White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
- Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty
- Vertical bars with diagonal scissor links that lock rigid when closed
- Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill

Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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 Scarborough: questions
Do you cover Bridlington as well as Scarborough?
Yes. As well as Scarborough, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bridlington, Whitby and Driffield, and elsewhere in North Yorkshire.
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.
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.
