How much do removable security grilles cost in Reading?
As a guide, removable security grilles in Reading 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.

- Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
- Lifts out completely for a clear window

Things to decide before you order
Locking
Choose keyed pins for everyday use, or padlock hasps if you prefer to use your own padlocks.
Where it is stored
Plan where the panel lives when it is out, because a grille propped behind a door is easily damaged.
Rules that apply 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.
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.

Removable security grilles in Reading: questions
Do you cover Wokingham as well as Reading?
Yes. As well as Reading, we can arrange surveys in nearby Wokingham, Crowthorne and Yateley, and elsewhere in Berkshire.
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.
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.
