Window security grilles in Deal: what will it cost?
Budget £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window for window security grilles in Deal, 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
- Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
- Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows
- Retractable, fixed or removable designs
- Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
- Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
- Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings

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.
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
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.
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 Deal: questions
Which areas near Deal do you cover?
We can arrange work in Deal and in nearby Dover (8 miles), Ramsgate (8 miles) and Broadstairs (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
