Window security grilles in Coventry: what will it cost?
As a guide, window security grilles in Coventry 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.

- Fitted inside the glass by default; external options for recessed or plain openings

Fitting in Coventry and nearby
Coventry is about 17 miles from Birmingham, the main centre for West Midlands. We can survey and fit across the CV1 district and in nearby places such as Kenilworth and Bedworth.
The West Midlands is dominated by red-brick terraces and interwar semis, with dense high streets and a large stock of industrial and trade units.
Common openings for window security grilles:
- Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing
- Flats with windows onto shared walkways
- Offices and shops with side or rear windows
- Ground-floor and basement windows
Getting the right window grille for your building
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.
What the rules say in England
Grilles in rented homes
Landlords in England must keep rented homes free from serious hazards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, which includes fire. A grille that stops a tenant using an escape window can create a hazard, so grilles in rented homes should have keyless internal releases.
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.

Window security grilles in Coventry: questions
Do you cover Kenilworth as well as Coventry?
Yes. As well as Coventry, we can arrange surveys in nearby Kenilworth, Bedworth and Nuneaton, and elsewhere in West Midlands.
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.
