Retractable security grilles in Kidderminster

Retractable security grilles in Kidderminster: what will it cost?

Our guide range for retractable security grilles in Kidderminster 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

Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width
Single, double or multi-leaf layouts for wide openings
Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill
Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape
Key-operated lock box on the leading edge, with optional extra locking points
Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty

Getting the right retractable grille for your building

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.

Security level

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

What the rules say in England

England

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.

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 Kidderminster: questions

Can you survey in Kidderminster and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Kidderminster, Stourport-on-Severn, Stourbridge and elsewhere in Worcestershire are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
