What is the price of window security grilles in Bristol?
Budget £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for window security grilles in Bristol, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
A window security grille is a steel barrier fitted across a window so that breaking the glass no longer gives a way in. It can be retractable, fixed or removable, and is most often fitted inside the reveal where it is protected and barely noticed from outside.

Covering Bristol
We can arrange surveys and fitting anywhere in Bristol, including Clifton and Bedminster. Dates depend on installer availability.
Bristol's housing ranges from Georgian terraces in Clifton to Victorian streets in Bedminster and Easton, with independent high streets such as Gloucester Road full of glazed shopfronts.
This type of grille suits:
- Flats with windows onto shared walkways
- Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
- Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
- Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Questions we will ask at the survey
Retractable, fixed or removable
Match the grille to how often the window opens. Daily-use windows suit retractable; never-opened windows suit fixed; occasional windows suit removable.
Colour
White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.
Planning and safety in England
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.
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.

Window security grilles in Bristol: questions
Which towns in Bristol do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Bristol, including Clifton, Bedminster, Easton, Fishponds and Southville.
Can I still open the window with a grille fitted?
With a retractable or removable grille, yes. Many fixed internal grilles also leave room to open the sash or casement behind them.
Are window grilles safe in a bedroom?
They can be, provided the grille has a release that opens from inside without a key. Bedroom and upstairs windows often have to serve as escape routes, so we will not fit a key-only grille over a window you need for escape.
Do grilles work on bay windows?
Yes. A bay is usually treated as separate grilles for each face, or one grille following the bay on a curved or angled track.
