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
- Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
- Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour
- Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
- Retractable, fixed or removable designs
- Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
- Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
Fitting in Hornchurch and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Hornchurch and across the RM11 postcode district, as well as in nearby Romford (2 miles) and Dagenham (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.
Where window security grilles are most often used:
- Ground-floor and basement windows
- Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
- Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
- Offices and shops with side or rear windows
What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: 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 Hornchurch: questions
Can you survey in Hornchurch and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Hornchurch, Romford, Dagenham and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
