What is the price of retractable security grilles in Epsom?

Our guide range for retractable security grilles in Epsom 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.

Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill
Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width
Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape

Fitting in Epsom and nearby

Epsom is about 15 miles from Guildford, the main centre for Surrey. We can survey and fit across the KT17 district and in nearby places such as Ewell and Banstead.

Surrey is mostly suburban and commuter housing, from interwar semis to large detached homes, with busy town centres such as Guildford and Woking.

This type of grille suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

Security level

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

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.

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.

Retractable security grilles in Epsom: questions

Can you survey in Epsom and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Epsom, Ewell, Banstead and elsewhere in Surrey are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
