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.

Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe

Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows

Fitting in Barking and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Barking and across the IG11 postcode district, as well as in nearby Ilford (2 miles) and Becontree (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.

This type of grille suits:

Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Flats with windows onto shared walkways

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Colour

White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.

Planning and safety 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.

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.

Window security grilles in Barking: questions

Can you survey in Barking and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Barking, Ilford, Becontree and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around 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.

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.
