Window security grilles in Andover

How much do window security grilles cost in Andover?

As a guide, window security grilles in Andover cost £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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 you can specify

Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
Retractable, fixed or removable designs
Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour
Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe

Fitting in Andover and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Andover and across the SP10 postcode district, as well as in nearby Winchester (13 miles) and Newbury (15 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Hampshire runs from Portsmouth's dense Victorian terraces and Southampton's post-war centre to market towns such as Winchester with large conservation areas.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

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

Things to decide before you order

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.

Rules that apply 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 Andover: questions

Can you survey in Andover and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Andover, Winchester, Newbury and elsewhere in Hampshire 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.

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.

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.
