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.

Fitting in Gosport and nearby
Gosport is about 14 miles from Southampton, the main centre for Hampshire. We can survey and fit across the PO12 district and in nearby places such as Portsmouth and Fareham.
Hampshire runs from Portsmouth's dense Victorian terraces and Southampton's post-war centre to market towns such as Winchester with large conservation areas.
Where window security grilles are most often used:
- 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
What to think about first
Colour
White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.
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.
Consents and safety: 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 Gosport: questions
Do you cover Portsmouth as well as Gosport?
Yes. As well as Gosport, we can arrange surveys in nearby Portsmouth, Fareham and Ryde, and elsewhere in Hampshire.
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.
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.
