How much do window security grilles cost in Croydon?
Budget £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for window security grilles in Croydon, 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 goes into a window grille
- Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour
- Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
- Retractable, fixed or removable designs
- Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
- Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
- Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
Fitting in Croydon and nearby
Surveys in Croydon (CR0) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby South Croydon (1 mile), Wallington (3 miles) and Carshalton (3 miles).
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.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Flats with windows onto shared walkways
- Ground-floor and basement windows
- Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
- Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
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 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 Croydon: questions
Can you survey in Croydon and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Croydon, South Croydon, Wallington 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.
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.
