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.

Lock positioned to clear window handles and restrictors
Retractable, fixed or removable designs

Fitting in Barnsley and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Barnsley and across the S70 postcode district, as well as in nearby Wakefield (9 miles) and Rotherham (10 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

South Yorkshire is dominated by brick and stone terraces in Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham and Barnsley, alongside large city-centre retail and commercial areas.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
Ground-floor and basement 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.

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.

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 Barnsley: questions

Do you cover Wakefield as well as Barnsley?

Yes. As well as Barnsley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Wakefield, Rotherham and Ossett, and elsewhere in South Yorkshire.

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.

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.
