Removable security grilles in Altrincham

Removable security grilles in Altrincham: what will it cost?

Budget £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for removable security grilles in Altrincham, 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 goes into a removable grille

Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
Storage hooks or wall clips available

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.

Panel weight

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

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 Altrincham: questions

Which areas near Altrincham do you cover?

We can arrange work in Altrincham and in nearby Sale (3 miles), Urmston (4 miles) and Stretford (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
