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

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 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.
Consents and safety: Northern Ireland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Northern Ireland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, with the council deciding and the Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advising. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes.

Removable security grilles in Antrim: questions
Do you cover Ballymena as well as Antrim?
Yes. As well as Antrim, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ballymena, Newtownabbey and Belfast, and elsewhere in County Antrim.
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.
Are removable grilles suitable for listed buildings?
Often, because the only permanent fixings are small brackets. Listed building consent may still be needed, so check with your council first.
