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 Scunthorpe and nearby

Surveys in Scunthorpe (DN15) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Goole (13 miles), Gainsborough (14 miles) and Hull (17 miles).

Lincolnshire combines the historic hilltop core of Lincoln with Grimsby and Scunthorpe's industrial terraces and many small market and coastal towns.

This type of grille suits:

Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Ground-floor and basement windows

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

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.

Grilles in rented homes

Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.

Window security grilles in Scunthorpe: questions

Do you cover Goole as well as Scunthorpe?

Yes. As well as Scunthorpe, we can arrange surveys in nearby Goole, Gainsborough and Hull, and elsewhere in Lincolnshire.

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.

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.
