How much should I budget for security grille installation in Essex?
Fitting grilles you already own in Essex typically costs £234 to £594 including VAT (£195 to £495 plus VAT) per opening, after we have checked the product. For new grilles, fitting is included in the supplied-and-fitted price confirmed after a free survey.
Security grille installation covers the free survey, measuring, ordering and fitting of your grilles, then a handover where we show you how to operate and look after them. You contract with us for the whole job, and the work is carried out by installers working under our contract.
Work we can carry out
- Laser and tape measurements of every reveal
- Operating and care handover
- Fixed price confirmed in writing before work starts
- Free survey for new installations
- Check of fixing substrate before ordering

Before the visit
What the wall is made of
Solid brick and block take direct fixings; stud, render and thin reveals may need a subframe.
Existing grilles
Old grilles can be removed and taken away as part of the job.
Consents and safety: England
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
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.

Security grille installation in Essex: questions
Which towns in Essex do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Essex, including Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Colchester, Chelmsford and Harlow, and in other towns across the area.
How long does installation take?
Most single grilles take one to two hours. A whole house or shopfront may take a day.
Will fitting make a mess?
Drilling makes some dust. Installers use dust sheets and a vacuum and leave the area tidy.
Can you fit a grille I bought online?
Often, yes. We check the product, measurements and fixings first, then quote a fit-only price, usually from £195 plus VAT (£234 inc VAT) per opening.
