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

Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
Storage hooks or wall clips available
White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored

What to think about first

Where it is stored

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

Panel weight

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

Bedroom and escape windows

Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Removable security grilles in Cheltenham: questions

Do you cover Tewkesbury as well as Cheltenham?

Yes. As well as Cheltenham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Stroud, and elsewhere in Gloucestershire.

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.

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.
