Window security grilles in Cheltenham

What is the price of window security grilles in Cheltenham?

Budget £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for window security grilles in Cheltenham, 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.

Fitting in Cheltenham and nearby

Surveys in Cheltenham (GL50) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Tewkesbury (7 miles), Gloucester (7 miles) and Stroud (12 miles).

Gloucestershire mixes Cotswold stone towns and villages, Regency terraces in Cheltenham, and the commercial and retail centres of Gloucester and Yate.

This type of grille suits:

Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Ground-floor and basement windows
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing

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.

Escape requirements

If the window is a designated escape window, the grille must open from inside without a key or tool. We fit quick-release locks for these.

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.

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 Cheltenham: questions

Which areas near Cheltenham do you cover?

We can arrange work in Cheltenham and in nearby Tewkesbury (7 miles), Gloucester (7 miles) and Stroud (12 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
