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
Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
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
Works with uPVC, aluminium, timber and steel windows

Fitting in Wellington and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Wellington and across the TF1 postcode district, as well as in nearby Telford (3 miles) and Shrewsbury (10 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Shropshire mixes Telford's modern estates and business units with timber-framed and listed centres in Shrewsbury and Ludlow.

Where window security grilles are most often used:

Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens

What to think about first

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.

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.

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.

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 Wellington: questions

Can you survey in Wellington and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Wellington, Telford, Shrewsbury and elsewhere in Shropshire are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
