Removable security grilles in Dunstable

Removable security grilles in Dunstable: what will it cost?

Removable security grilles in Dunstable typically cost £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. Use the quote tool for a guide figure, then we survey and confirm a fixed price.

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.

What goes into a removable grille

Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
Storage hooks or wall clips available
Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
Rigid welded panel in steel

Holiday homes and second homes

Getting the right removable grille for your building

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.

Where it is stored

Plan where the panel lives when it is out, because a grille propped behind a door is easily damaged.

What the rules say in 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.

Removable security grilles in Dunstable: questions

Do you cover Luton as well as Dunstable?

Yes. As well as Dunstable, we can arrange surveys in nearby Luton, Leighton Buzzard and Harpenden, and elsewhere in Bedfordshire.

Can removable grilles be locked from outside?

They are designed to be locked and removed from inside only, so nobody outside can lift them out.

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.

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.
