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
Lifts out completely for a clear window
White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Storage hooks or wall clips available
Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable

Questions we will ask at the survey

Escape

A removable panel is not a quick-release escape grille. Upstairs and bedroom windows needed for escape suit a quick-release retractable grille better.

Panel weight

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

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.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Removable security grilles in Edinburgh and the Lothians: questions

Which towns in Edinburgh and the Lothians do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians, including Edinburgh, Livingston, Musselburgh, Bathgate and Dalkeith, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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.
