Removable security grilles in Dundee: what will it cost?
Our guide range for removable security grilles in Dundee is £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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
- 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
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
- Lifts out completely for a clear window
Fitting in Dundee and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting across Dundee and the DD1 postcode district, and in nearby Cupar (10 miles), St Andrews (11 miles) and Forfar.
Dundee's sandstone tenements and waterfront sit alongside Angus towns such as Arbroath, Forfar and Montrose.
Common openings for removable security grilles:
- Holiday homes and second homes
- Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
- Offices empty at weekends
- Temporary or seasonal security
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.
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 Scotland
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.
Bedroom and escape windows
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Removable security grilles in Dundee: questions
Do you cover Cupar as well as Dundee?
Yes. As well as Dundee, we can arrange surveys in nearby Cupar, St Andrews and Forfar, and elsewhere in Dundee and Angus.
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.
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.
