Removable security grilles in Glasgow

Removable security grilles in Glasgow: what will it cost?

As a guide, removable security grilles in Glasgow cost £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.

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.

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 Scotland

Scotland

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.

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 Glasgow: questions

Do you cover Rutherglen as well as Glasgow?

Yes. As well as Glasgow, we can arrange surveys in nearby Rutherglen, Bishopbriggs and Bearsden, and elsewhere in Glasgow and Clyde.

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.

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.
