Retractable security grilles in Blairgowrie: what will it cost?
Most retractable security grilles in Blairgowrie fall within £414 to £1,554 including VAT (£345 to £1,295 plus VAT) per opening for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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
- Single, double or multi-leaf layouts for wide openings
- Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill
- Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty
- White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
- Key-operated lock box on the leading edge, with optional extra locking points

Getting the right retractable grille for your building
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.
What the rules say in Scotland
Bedroom and escape windows
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Retractable security grilles in Blairgowrie: questions
Do you cover Perth as well as Blairgowrie?
Yes. As well as Blairgowrie, we can arrange surveys in nearby Perth, Dundee and Pitlochry, and elsewhere in Perth and Kinross.
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.
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.
