Window security grilles in Wakefield

How much do window security grilles cost in Wakefield?

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 Wakefield and nearby

Wakefield is about 8 miles from Leeds, the main centre for West Yorkshire. We can survey and fit across the WF1 district and in nearby places such as Ossett and Dewsbury.

West Yorkshire is known for stone and brick terraces, back-to-backs in Leeds and Bradford, converted mills, and busy city and town centres.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Ground-floor and basement windows
Flats with windows onto shared walkways
Offices and shops with side or rear windows
Outbuildings, workshops and garages with glazing

Things to decide before you order

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.

Colour

White disappears against white frames, while black or anthracite suits darker frames and period sash windows.

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.

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 Wakefield: questions

Do you cover Ossett as well as Wakefield?

Yes. As well as Wakefield, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ossett, Dewsbury and Morley, and elsewhere in West Yorkshire.

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.

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.

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.
