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

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

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
Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
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.

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 Blackheath: questions

Do you cover Greenwich as well as Blackheath?

Yes. As well as Blackheath, we can arrange surveys in nearby Greenwich, Catford and Eltham, and elsewhere in Greater London.

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.

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.

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.
