Removable security grilles in Leicester

How much do removable security grilles cost in Leicester?

As a guide, removable security grilles in Leicester cost £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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

White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Rigid welded panel in steel
Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
Storage hooks or wall clips available
Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside

Fitting in Leicester and nearby

Surveys in Leicester (LE1) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Oadby (3 miles) and Wigston (4 miles).

Leicestershire mixes Leicester's Victorian terraces and busy retail streets with market towns such as Loughborough and Melton Mowbray.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
Holiday homes and second homes
Temporary or seasonal security
Offices empty at weekends

Things to decide before you order

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.

Panel weight

Steel panels are heavy. We size and split them so one person can lift each panel safely.

Rules that apply in England

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.

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 Leicester: questions

Can you survey in Leicester and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Leicester, Oadby, Wigston and elsewhere in Leicestershire are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
