Window security grilles in Bury: what will it cost?
Most window security grilles in Bury fall within £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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
- Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
- Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour
- Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
- Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
- Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
- Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
Fitting in Bury and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Bury and across the BL9 postcode district, as well as in nearby Radcliffe (3 miles) and Heywood (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Greater Manchester is dominated by red-brick terraces and mill-town centres, with converted mills, modern city-centre flats and large retail parks.
Common openings for window security grilles:
- Ground-floor and basement windows
- Flats with windows onto shared walkways
- Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
- Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Getting the right window grille for your building
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.
What the rules say in England
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.
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 Bury: questions
Do you cover Radcliffe as well as Bury?
Yes. As well as Bury, we can arrange surveys in nearby Radcliffe, Heywood and Whitefield, and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
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.
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.
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.
