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.

White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored

Fitting in Tunbridge Wells and nearby

Tunbridge Wells is about 14 miles from Maidstone, the main centre for Kent. We can survey and fit across the TN1 district and in nearby places such as Tonbridge and Crowborough.

Kent ranges from Medway's Victorian terraces and Thanet's seaside towns to listed medieval centres such as Canterbury and Rochester.

Where removable security grilles are most often used:

Windows needed for cleaning or access
Offices empty at weekends
Temporary or seasonal security
Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome

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.

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.

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 Tunbridge Wells: questions

Do you cover Tonbridge as well as Tunbridge Wells?

Yes. As well as Tunbridge Wells, we can arrange surveys in nearby Tonbridge, Crowborough and Sevenoaks, 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.

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.
