Removable security grilles in Finchley: what will it cost?
Most removable security grilles in Finchley fall within £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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
- Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
- Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
- Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
- Rigid welded panel in steel
- Storage hooks or wall clips available
- Keyed or padlockable bracket pins

Getting the right removable grille for your building
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.
Where it is stored
Plan where the panel lives when it is out, because a grille propped behind a door is easily damaged.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Removable security grilles in Finchley: questions
Do you cover Muswell Hill as well as Finchley?
Yes. As well as Finchley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Muswell Hill, Cricklewood and Kilburn, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
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.
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.
