How much do window security grilles cost in Batley?
As a guide, window security grilles in Batley 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.

Things to decide before you order
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.
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 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.

Window security grilles in Batley: questions
Do you cover Dewsbury as well as Batley?
Yes. As well as Batley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dewsbury, Ossett and Morley, and elsewhere in West Yorkshire.
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.
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.
