Window security grilles in Loughborough

How much do window security grilles cost in Loughborough?

As a guide, window security grilles in Loughborough 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.

Choices you can make

Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
Retractable, fixed or removable designs
Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows

We can arrange window security grilles anywhere in Loughborough, and in nearby Coalville, Leicester and Long Eaton. Tell us your postcode and we will offer dates.

Leicestershire mixes Leicester's Victorian terraces and busy retail streets with market towns such as Loughborough and Melton Mowbray.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

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

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.

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.

Rules that apply in England

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 Loughborough: questions

Do you cover Coalville as well as Loughborough?

Yes. As well as Loughborough, we can arrange surveys in nearby Coalville, Leicester and Long Eaton, and elsewhere in Leicestershire.

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.

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.
