What to think about first

Panel weight

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

Locking

Choose keyed pins for everyday use, or padlock hasps if you prefer to use your own padlocks.

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.

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.

Removable security grilles in Berkshire: questions

Which towns in Berkshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Berkshire, including Reading, Slough, Bracknell, Maidenhead and Wokingham, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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.

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.
