Window security grilles in St Andrews: what will it cost?
As a guide, window security grilles in St Andrews 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.
What you can specify
- Retractable, fixed or removable designs
- Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
- Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
- Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour
- Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
- Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals

Getting the right window grille for your building
Colour
White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.
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.
What the rules say in Scotland
Grilles in rented homes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Window security grilles in St Andrews: questions
Do you cover Cupar as well as St Andrews?
Yes. As well as St Andrews, we can arrange surveys in nearby Cupar, Dundee and Leven, and elsewhere in Fife.
Will a grille damage my window frame?
No. Grilles fix to the wall reveal or a subframe, not to the window itself, so the frame and its warranty are unaffected.
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.
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.
