Removable security grilles in Greenford: what will it cost?
Budget £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for removable security grilles in Greenford, 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 you can specify
- Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
- Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
- Storage hooks or wall clips available
- Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
- Lifts out completely for a clear window
Fitting in Greenford and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Greenford and across the UB6 postcode district, as well as in nearby Northolt (1 mile) and Southall (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Common openings for removable security grilles:
- Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
- Temporary or seasonal security
- Offices empty at weekends
- Holiday homes and second homes
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.
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 Greenford: questions
Do you cover Northolt as well as Greenford?
Yes. As well as Greenford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Northolt, Southall and Wembley, 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.
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.
