Window security grilles in Banstead

Window security grilles in Banstead: what will it cost?

Our guide range for window security grilles in Banstead is £414 to £954 including VAT (£345 to £795 plus VAT) per window, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

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

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

Fitting in Banstead and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Banstead and across the SM7 postcode district, as well as in nearby Sutton (2 miles) and Ewell (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Ground-floor and basement windows
Rear windows facing alleys and gardens

Getting the right window grille for your building

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.

What the rules say in England

England

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 Banstead: questions

Do you cover Sutton as well as Banstead?

Yes. As well as Banstead, we can arrange surveys in nearby Sutton, Ewell and Epsom, and elsewhere in Surrey.

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.

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.
