Retractable security grilles in Swansea

What is the price of retractable security grilles in Swansea?

Our guide range for retractable security grilles in Swansea 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.

Choices you can make

Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill
White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width
Single, double or multi-leaf layouts for wide openings
Key-operated lock box on the leading edge, with optional extra locking points
Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty

Fitting in Swansea and nearby

We can arrange retractable security grilles across Swansea, the main centre for West Glamorgan, and in nearby towns including Gorseinon, Port Talbot and Neath.

West Glamorgan includes Swansea's terraces, marina and city centre, and the industrial town of Port Talbot.

This type of grille suits:

Office receptions and glazed partitions
Stockrooms and cash offices
Ground-floor windows of homes and flats
Back doors, French doors and patio doors

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.

Planning and safety in Wales

Wales

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Wales, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

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.

Retractable security grilles in Swansea: questions

Which areas near Swansea do you cover?

We can arrange work in Swansea and in nearby Gorseinon (5 miles), Port Talbot (7 miles) and Neath (7 miles). Dates depend on 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.

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.

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.
