Security grille installation in Leicester: what will it cost?
Fitting grilles you already own in Leicester 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
- Operating and care handover
- Free survey for new installations
- Lock test and adjustment on every grille
- Fit-only service for suitable existing grilles
- Laser and tape measurements of every reveal
- Fixed price confirmed in writing before work starts

Things to think about
What the wall is made of
Solid brick and block take direct fixings; stud, render and thin reveals may need a subframe.
Access
Tell us about parking, stairs, alarms and working times when you book.
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.
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.
