Window security grilles in Bow

What is the price of window security grilles in Bow?

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

What you can specify

Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour

Fitting in Bow and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Bow and across the E3 postcode district, as well as in nearby Stratford (1 mile) and Canary Wharf (1 mile). 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:

Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Ground-floor and basement windows

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Planning and safety in England

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.

Bedroom and escape windows

Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

Window security grilles in Bow: questions

Can you survey in Bow and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Bow, Stratford, Canary Wharf and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
