Security grille installation in Preston: what will it cost?
Fitting grilles you already own in Preston 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.
What we look at
- Fit-only service for suitable existing grilles
- Lock test and adjustment on every grille
- Operating and care handover
- Check of fixing substrate before ordering
- Dust sheets, vacuum and tidy-up
- Fixed price confirmed in writing before work starts

Things to think about
Timing
Shops and offices can usually book early or late slots, subject to the installer's schedule.
What the wall is made of
Solid brick and block take direct fixings; stud, render and thin reveals may need a subframe.
What the rules say in 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.
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.
