Window security grilles in Fleet: what will it cost?
Most window security grilles in Fleet 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.
Choices you can make
- Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
- Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
- Retractable, fixed or removable designs
- Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
- Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
- Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors

Getting the right window grille for your building
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.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Window security grilles in Fleet: questions
Do you cover Farnborough as well as Fleet?
Yes. As well as Fleet, we can arrange surveys in nearby Farnborough, Aldershot and Yateley, and elsewhere in Hampshire.
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.
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.
