How much should I budget for security grille installation in Truro?
Fit-only work in Truro usually costs £234 to £594 including VAT (£195 to £495 plus VAT) per opening. New grilles are priced supplied and fitted, with a free survey and a fixed price in writing.

- Laser and tape measurements of every reveal
- Lock test and adjustment on every grille
- Fixed price confirmed in writing before work starts
- Free survey for new installations
- Check of fixing substrate before ordering

Visits in Truro and nearby
We can arrange security grille installation across Truro, the main centre for Cornwall, and in nearby towns including Falmouth, Redruth and Newquay.
Cornwall's stock is largely granite and slate cottages, terraces and holiday lets, with many seasonal properties left empty for part of the year.
This work suits:
- Moving a grille to a new opening
- Fitting grilles you have bought
- New grilles for homes and businesses
- Multi-site schedules
Before the visit
Existing grilles
Old grilles can be removed and taken away as part of the job.
Timing
Shops and offices can usually book early or late slots, subject to the installer's schedule.
Consents and safety: England
Bedroom and escape windows
Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.
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.
