Removable security grilles in Aberdeen

How much should I budget for removable security grilles in Aberdeen?

As a guide, removable security grilles in Aberdeen cost £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 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 removable security grille is a rigid steel panel that sits in locked brackets fixed to the window reveal. Unlocked, it lifts out entirely, leaving the window clear for cleaning, views or escape; locked in, it is as strong as a fixed grille.

Fitting in Aberdeen and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting across Aberdeen and the AB10 postcode district, and in nearby Stonehaven (13 miles), Inverurie (14 miles) and Peterhead.

North-east Scotland is known for granite tenements and houses in Aberdeen, fishing towns along the coast and stone-built market towns inland.

Where removable security grilles are most often used:

Holiday homes and second homes
Offices empty at weekends
Temporary or seasonal security
Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome

What to think about first

Escape

A removable panel is not a quick-release escape grille. Upstairs and bedroom windows needed for escape suit a quick-release retractable grille better.

Panel weight

Steel panels are heavy. We size and split them so one person can lift each panel safely.

Consents and safety: Scotland

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Bedroom and escape windows

In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Removable security grilles in Aberdeen: questions

Do you cover Stonehaven as well as Aberdeen?

Yes. As well as Aberdeen, we can arrange surveys in nearby Stonehaven, Inverurie and Peterhead, and elsewhere in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray.

Can I fit the panel myself after it is installed?

Yes. Once the brackets are fitted, lifting the panel in and locking it is a simple job.

How heavy is a removable grille panel?

It depends on size and bar section. We aim to keep each panel light enough for one person to lift, splitting large windows into two panels.

What is the difference between removable and retractable grilles?

A retractable grille folds to the side but stays in place; a removable grille comes out completely. Retractable suits daily use, removable suits occasional use.
