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

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 goes into a removable grille

Rigid welded panel in steel
Storage hooks or wall clips available
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes

Fitting in Livingston and nearby

Surveys in Livingston (EH54) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Bathgate (5 miles), Grangemouth (11 miles) and Dunfermline (12 miles).

Edinburgh's Old and New Towns are a World Heritage Site full of listed tenements and shops, surrounded by suburbs and the Lothians' towns.

Where removable security grilles are most often used:

Offices empty at weekends
Windows needed for cleaning or access
Holiday homes and second homes
Temporary or seasonal security

What to think about first

Locking

Choose keyed pins for everyday use, or padlock hasps if you prefer to use your own padlocks.

Where it is stored

Plan where the panel lives when it is out, because a grille propped behind a door is easily damaged.

Consents and safety: 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.

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 Livingston: questions

Do you cover Bathgate as well as Livingston?

Yes. As well as Livingston, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bathgate, Grangemouth and Dunfermline, and elsewhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

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.

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.

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.
