What is the price of removable security grilles in Greenwich?
Our guide range for removable security grilles in Greenwich is £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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
- Rigid welded panel in steel
- Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
- Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
- Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
- Storage hooks or wall clips available
- Lifts out completely for a clear window
Fitting in Greenwich and nearby
We can arrange removable security grilles anywhere in Greenwich, and in nearby Blackheath, Canary Wharf and Catford. Tell us your postcode and we will offer dates.
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:
- Windows needed for cleaning or access
- Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
- Offices empty at weekends
- Temporary or seasonal security
Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
Panel weight
Steel panels are heavy. We size and split them so one person can lift each panel safely.
Planning and safety 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 Greenwich: questions
Do you cover Blackheath as well as Greenwich?
Yes. As well as Greenwich, we can arrange surveys in nearby Blackheath, Canary Wharf and Catford, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
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.
