How much should I budget for removable security grilles in Gillingham?
Budget £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for removable security grilles in Gillingham, 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.
Choices you can make
- Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
- Lifts out completely for a clear window
- Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
- Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
- Storage hooks or wall clips available

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.
Consents and safety: 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 Gillingham: questions
Do you cover Chatham as well as Gillingham?
Yes. As well as Gillingham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Chatham, Rochester and Strood, and elsewhere in Kent.
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.
How heavy is a removable grille panel?
It depends on size and bar section. We aim to keep each panel light enough for one person to lift, splitting large windows into two panels.
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.
