How much do window security grilles cost in Doncaster?
As a guide, window security grilles in Doncaster 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
- Made to measure for the reveal, including bays and splayed reveals
- Anti-tamper fixings into masonry or a fabricated subframe
- Quick-release escape handle for bedroom and upstairs windows
- Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings
- Retractable, fixed or removable designs
- Powder-coated in white, black or anthracite to sit with the frame colour

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

- Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
- Flats with windows onto shared walkways
- Ground-floor and basement windows
- 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.
Colour
White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.
Rules that apply in 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 Doncaster: questions
Do you cover Rotherham as well as Doncaster?
Yes. As well as Doncaster, we can arrange surveys in nearby Rotherham, Pontefract and Barnsley, 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.
