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

Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
Retractable, fixed or removable designs
Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors

Fitting in Farnworth and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Farnworth and across the BL4 postcode district, as well as in nearby Walkden (2 miles) and Bolton (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.

This type of grille suits:

Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Ground-floor and basement windows

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

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 Farnworth: questions

Do you cover Walkden as well as Farnworth?

Yes. As well as Farnworth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Walkden, Bolton and Radcliffe, and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.

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.

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.
