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.

Fitting in Leytonstone and nearby

Whether you are in central Leytonstone or at the edge of the E11 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Walthamstow and Stratford are covered too.

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:

Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Flats with windows onto shared walkways

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Colour

White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.

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 Leytonstone: questions

Which areas near Leytonstone do you cover?

We can arrange work in Leytonstone and in nearby Walthamstow (2 miles), Stratford (2 miles) and Ilford (3 miles). Dates depend on 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.

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.
