Removable security grilles in Cricklewood

What is the price of removable security grilles in Cricklewood?

Budget £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for removable security grilles in Cricklewood, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.

What goes into a removable grille

Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
Lifts out completely for a clear window
Storage hooks or wall clips available
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable

Fitting in Cricklewood and nearby

Surveys in Cricklewood (NW2) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Kilburn (1 mile), Willesden (2 miles) and Chalk Farm (3 miles).

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.

This type of grille suits:

Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
Offices empty at weekends
Temporary or seasonal security
Holiday homes and second homes

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Removable security grilles in Cricklewood: questions

Do you cover Kilburn as well as Cricklewood?

Yes. As well as Cricklewood, we can arrange surveys in nearby Kilburn, Willesden and Chalk Farm, and elsewhere in Greater London.

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.

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.
