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
Lifts out completely for a clear window
Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Storage hooks or wall clips available

Fitting in Croydon and nearby

Surveys in Croydon (CR0) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby South Croydon (1 mile), Wallington (3 miles) and Carshalton (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.

Where removable security grilles are most often used:

Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
Windows needed for cleaning or access
Holiday homes and second homes
Temporary or seasonal security

What to think about first

Panel weight

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

Escape

A removable panel is not a quick-release escape grille. Upstairs and bedroom windows needed for escape suit a quick-release retractable grille better.

Consents and safety: England

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 Croydon: questions

Do you cover South Croydon as well as Croydon?

Yes. As well as Croydon, we can arrange surveys in nearby South Croydon, Wallington and Carshalton, and elsewhere in Greater London.

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.

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.
