Window security grilles in Bodmin

What is the price of window security grilles in Bodmin?

As a guide, window security grilles in Bodmin cost £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Choices you can make

Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour
Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals

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 type of grille suits:

Ground-floor and basement windows
Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Offices and shops with side or rear windows

Questions we will ask at the survey

Depth in the reveal

Tracks need a few centimetres of flat reveal. Where the frame sits flush with the wall, the grille can be fixed to a slim subframe instead.

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.

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.

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.

Window security grilles in Bodmin: questions

Do you cover St Austell as well as Bodmin?

Yes. As well as Bodmin, we can arrange surveys in nearby St Austell, Newquay and Truro, and elsewhere in Cornwall.

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.

Should window grilles go inside or outside?

Inside in most cases. Internal grilles avoid weathering, are harder to attack, keep the outside of the building unchanged and rarely need planning permission. External grilles suit openings with no internal depth.

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.
