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.

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.

What the rules say in Scotland

Scotland

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.

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.

Removable security grilles in Dalkeith: questions

Which areas near Dalkeith do you cover?

We can arrange work in Dalkeith and in nearby Musselburgh (3 miles), Edinburgh (6 miles) and Penicuik (7 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
