Removable security grilles in Rawtenstall

Removable security grilles in Rawtenstall: what will it cost?

Most removable security grilles in Rawtenstall fall within £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.

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

Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
Storage hooks or wall clips available
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
Lifts out completely for a clear window

Getting the right removable grille for your building

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.

What the rules say in England

England

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 Rawtenstall: questions

Which areas near Rawtenstall do you cover?

We can arrange work in Rawtenstall and in nearby Accrington (5 miles), Bury (7 miles) and Burnley (7 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
