Removable security grilles in Hinckley: what will it cost?
Budget £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for removable security grilles in Hinckley, 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.
What goes into a removable grille
- Storage hooks or wall clips available
- Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
- Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
- Rigid welded panel in steel
- Keyed or padlockable bracket pins

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.
Panel weight
Steel panels are heavy. We size and split them so one person can lift each panel safely.
What the rules say in 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 Hinckley: questions
Can you survey in Hinckley and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Hinckley, Nuneaton, Bedworth and elsewhere in Leicestershire are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
