What is the price of removable security grilles in Margate?
Budget £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for removable security grilles in Margate, 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.
Specification at a glance
- Rigid welded panel in steel
- Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
- Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
- Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
- Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
Fitting in Margate and nearby
Whether you are in central Margate or at the edge of the CT9 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Broadstairs and Ramsgate are covered too.
Kent ranges from Medway's Victorian terraces and Thanet's seaside towns to listed medieval centres such as Canterbury and Rochester.
This type of grille suits:
- Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
- Temporary or seasonal security
- Windows needed for cleaning or access
- Holiday homes and second homes
Questions we will ask at the survey
Panel weight
Steel panels are heavy. We size and split them so one person can lift each panel safely.
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.
Planning and safety 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.
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.

Removable security grilles in Margate: questions
Do you cover Broadstairs as well as Margate?
Yes. As well as Margate, we can arrange surveys in nearby Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Deal, and elsewhere in Kent.
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 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.
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.
