Window security grilles in Rotherham

How much should I budget for window security grilles in Rotherham?

As a guide, window security grilles in Rotherham 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.

Fitting in Rotherham and nearby

Rotherham is about 6 miles from Sheffield, the main centre for South Yorkshire. We can survey and fit across the S60 district and in nearby places such as Sheffield and Barnsley.

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

Where window security grilles are most often used:

Ground-floor and basement windows
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens
Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing

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.

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 Rotherham: questions

Do you cover Sheffield as well as Rotherham?

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

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.

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.

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.
