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.

Fitting in Blackheath and nearby

Blackheath is about 6 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the SE3 district and in nearby places such as Greenwich and Catford.

London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.

Holiday homes and second homes

Offices empty at weekends
Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome

What to think about first

Locking

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

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 Blackheath: questions

Which areas near Blackheath do you cover?

We can arrange work in Blackheath and in nearby Greenwich (1 mile), Catford (2 miles) and Eltham (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
