Removable security grilles in Bournemouth

Removable security grilles in Bournemouth: what will it cost?

Most removable security grilles in Bournemouth fall within £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.

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.

Choices you can make

Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
Storage hooks or wall clips available
Lifts out completely for a clear window

Fitting in Bournemouth and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting across Bournemouth and the BH1 postcode district, and in nearby Christchurch (4 miles), Poole (5 miles) and New Milton.

Dorset combines large suburban areas around Bournemouth and Poole with stone-built market towns and conservation-area high streets such as Dorchester and Bridport.

Common openings for removable security grilles:

Windows needed for cleaning or access
Temporary or seasonal security
Holiday homes and second homes
Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome

Getting the right removable grille for your building

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.

What the rules say in England

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 Bournemouth: questions

Do you cover Christchurch as well as Bournemouth?

Yes. As well as Bournemouth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Christchurch, Poole and New Milton, and elsewhere in Dorset.

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.

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.
