Window security grilles in Eastleigh

Window security grilles in Eastleigh: what will it cost?

Budget £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for window security grilles in Eastleigh, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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

Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
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
Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe

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

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.

Escape requirements

If the window is a designated escape window, the grille must open from inside without a key or tool. We fit quick-release locks for these.

What the rules say in England

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.

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 Eastleigh: questions

Can you survey in Eastleigh and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Eastleigh, Southampton, Winchester and elsewhere in Hampshire are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
