Removable security grilles in Shepherds Bush

Removable security grilles in Shepherds Bush: what will it cost?

Our guide range for removable security grilles in Shepherds Bush 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

Storage hooks or wall clips available
Rigid welded panel in steel
Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
Lifts out completely for a clear window
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable

Getting the right removable grille for your building

Where it is stored

Plan where the panel lives when it is out, because a grille propped behind a door is easily damaged.

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.

What the rules say in England

England

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.

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 Shepherds Bush: questions

Can you survey in Shepherds Bush and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Shepherds Bush, Notting Hill, Chiswick and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.

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 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.
