How much do window security grilles cost in Becontree?

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
- Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
- Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
- Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
- Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
- Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
- Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings

- Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
- Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Things to decide before you order
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.
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.
Rules that apply 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.
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.

Window security grilles in Becontree: questions
Can you survey in Becontree and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Becontree, Dagenham, Barking 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.
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.
