Removable security grilles in Hertfordshire

How much should I budget for removable security grilles in Hertfordshire?

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 to think about first

Where it is stored

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

Locking

Choose keyed pins for everyday use, or padlock hasps if you prefer to use your own padlocks.

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.

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.

Removable security grilles in Hertfordshire: questions

Which towns in Hertfordshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Hertfordshire, including Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage, St Albans and Welwyn Garden City, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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.

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.
