Window security grilles in Shrewsbury

How much do window security grilles cost in Shrewsbury?

As a guide, window security grilles in Shrewsbury 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.

What you can specify

Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour
Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows

Things to decide before you order

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.

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.

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.

Window security grilles in Shrewsbury: questions

Which areas near Shrewsbury do you cover?

We can arrange work in Shrewsbury and in nearby Wellington (10 miles), Telford (13 miles) and Oswestry (16 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
