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

Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
Storage hooks or wall clips available
Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Rigid welded panel in steel
Keyed or padlockable bracket pins

Fitting in Gosport and nearby

Surveys in Gosport (PO12) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Portsmouth (2 miles), Fareham (4 miles) and Ryde (5 miles).

Hampshire runs from Portsmouth's dense Victorian terraces and Southampton's post-war centre to market towns such as Winchester with large conservation areas.

Where removable security grilles are most often used:

Offices empty at weekends
Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
Temporary or seasonal security
Holiday homes and second homes

What to think about first

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.

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 Gosport: questions

Do you cover Portsmouth as well as Gosport?

Yes. As well as Gosport, we can arrange surveys in nearby Portsmouth, Fareham and Ryde, and elsewhere in Hampshire.

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.

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.
